Somerville, Massachusets - The spirits were high on a sunny Saturday afternoon as various alumni and the Colby College Ultimate Frisbee team packed the away end at the Zimman Field. Although the scoreline didn't flatter the Mules, this tough loss will sting and hopefully light a fire in the minds of the Colby Football team heading into their final two games of the season. Tufts defended their house, running rampant on both ends of the ball to win 38-0. Colby falls to 3-4 while the Jumbos go to 6-2.

The first half was dominated by rapturous applause from the Tufts stands as they led by 24 to end the half. Julian Young got an interception late in the second quarter to offer a positive in a tough defensive half. On the offensive end, a blocked field goal kept the Mules off the board.

In the second half, Tufts opened up with another touchdown as Colby continued to struggle on defense. The fourth quarter made things worse for the Mules as the Jumbos found the end zone to make it 38-0 and on the resulting kickoff, forced and recovered a fumble inside Colby's half. The game ended soon after, sending the Mules home with a lot to think about and a definite tough week of practice ahead to hopefully ensure they do not repeat their performance from today in their next game.

Colby relied heavily on the run against Tufts as quarterback Thomas Keeling only attempted 11 throws. Unfortunately for the Mules, the Jumbos quickly found a solution for keeping the ball on the ground, canceling out half of Colby's 83 rushing yards with negative 41 yards. Although the passing option didn't provide much this game, Colby could've benefited from testing the Jumbos' secondary as Keeling has continued to prove himself this season. On the defensive end, Mark Kassis led the game with ten tackles while Young had another strong game with nine.

Colby hosts rivals Bowdoin this Saturday at 5:00pm, setting up for an enthralling game under the lights as the Mules look to retain their dominance over the Polar Bears--Colby has won 5 of the past 6 games against Bowdoin.
