Perfection in sports is not the kind of thing that happens by accident. At the same time, it’s rare for a team or a player to begin a season setting out to be perfect.
To go months taking on some of the best competition in the country and never lose. It’s not what Tufts set out to do this year.
And, yet, certainly not by accident, the Jumbos enter Memorial Day weekend ready to take on Salisbury for the national championship. With a win, they would complete a 23-0 perfect season.
For the Jumbos, the players decide what the team goals are for the year. This season, the goal was a Division 3 national championship.
