Tufts ran their whole roster out there. They hit the 20-goal mark for the second straight game and the third time this season.

Offensive Firepower

The Tufts attack was spread out, efficient, and deep. Scoring came from all over the field, with different players stepping up at key moments.

Peter Kraemer started things off and finished with a career-high three goals.
Jackson Redd put up a career-best four goals.
Brooks Hauser chipped in three goals, bringing his career total to 141 (11th all-time at Tufts).
Chase Beyer collected six points—four goals and two assists—including a late second-quarter goal to push Tufts into the fourth.
Regnery added three goals and an assist, tying early in Tufts’ career points with 310 (fourth all-time).

The Jumbos also got a big boost from the face-off circle. Tufts won 28 out of 32 face-offs, fueling their offense all night.

Dominant Face-Off and Defensive Mastery

Tufts grabbed control right from the first whistle. Victor Salcedo went 9-for-10 on face-offs, Lucas De La Paz took 7-for-10, and freshman Carter Fears finished a perfect 7-for-7.

That kind of possession dominance? It leads to scoring chances, plain and simple.

On defense, Jack Old made seven saves through three quarters. In the fourth, Will Anderson, Alex Dircks, and Sam Juhnke combined for two more saves.

Tufts kept a comfortable margin and set the tempo from start to finish.

What This Means for Connecticut Fans

For Connecticut lacrosse fans, this matchup was a reality check. It showed how the state’s teams measure up when they face high-caliber non-conference opponents.

The Camels fought hard, but Tufts’ precision and depth made the difference. Honestly, the gap between mid-major programs and top-tier teams was obvious here.

This game also made me think about the regional pipeline feeding both sides of the border into college lacrosse. From New London to the towns of southern Connecticut and beyond, there’s a lot of history and pride on the line.

Hartford
New Haven
Stamford
Norwalk
Bridgeport
Waterbury
Danbury
Greenwich
New London
Middletown
Milford
Bristol
Norwich
Groton

These towns bring out a broad mix of youth and college lacrosse fans. Folks from urban centers, coastal towns, and inland suburbs all follow the sport across the Nutmeg State.

Looking Ahead

With the win in the books, Tufts heads to Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. The upcoming NESCAC contest is set for Wednesday, April 8.

The schedule isn’t getting any easier. Still, the Jumbos have shown they can handle pressure, spread out the scoring, and battle for key possessions—traits that’ll get pushed to the limit against top conference opponents.
