I'll happily chime in more often but my bias is indicated in my name...

This Tufts team is impressive - the fact that the Bos have become a top program only 8 years after being in shambles with Ferrigno is something else.

I don't know if "torched" is the right word  ;) but it's true - I don't remember the last time...but it looks like it was IN 2009!

Wow. That is astounding - that is when Ralph Ferrigno coached Tufts and had basically mailed it in. I guess a Shapiro-coached Tufts has never allowed more than two goals to an opponent...until today.

From the Tufts athletics archives:
Sat.   24, 2009   at Williams*   1-3 L

I've been a reader of this page since the first Tufts title but only now have decided to post.

I can assure you that Coach Shapiro has suffered a defeat while allowing 3 goals - mostly because I was on the pitch when we lost 3/0 to Middlebury in the Nescac QFs in 2010, Shapiro's first year with the program.

Absolutely anectodal and adds no content to the current discussion, but I couldn't bear this page having false information on it  ;)
