What to expect from Wesleyan vs. Tufts, Amherst vs. Bowdoin

The NESCAC quarterfinals didn’t have any surprising results, but the semifinals could produce some excitement for spoiler fans. 

The most dominant win last weekend came from fourth-seeded Wesleyan, which dispatched Middlebury, 17-9. Wesleyan has gone through a lot of alterations this season, especially on offense.

After suffering some key injuries in the preseason, the Cardinals (12-4) had to reformulate their plan of attack … on attack. They rode the hot hand of Matt Gill (Duxbury, Mass.) through March, but when his production dipped a little, they changed to a more midfield-heavy offense, and they were able to stack their goals and runs.

Meanwhile, top-seeded Tufts' quarterfinal win over Conn. College, 19-14, was a little closer than it would have liked.
