Colby dropped to 9-6 overall and 1-5 in NESCAC. They were led by a game-high 25 points off the bench by Caroline Smith.
Tufts took a 21-12 lead in the first quarter and led the rest of the way. Nine points from Decker and five by O'Brien paced the Jumbos over the first 10 minutes when they made three out of four three-pointers and eight of 15 total field goals (53.3 percent).

Colby closed the gap to five points at 32-27 on a three-pointer by Keagan Dunbar with 1:27 remaining in the half. However, threes by Poindexter McHan and Ayah Harper gave the hosts a 38-27 lead at the break.
