WILLIAMSTOWN, MA (April 1, 2026) -- The No. 1 Tufts University men's lacrosse team scored a season-high 26 goals Wednesday evening at No. 20 Williams College, cruising to a 26-12 win over the host Ephs in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) play at Farley-Lamb Field.
The 26 goals were the most in a game since Tufts potted 26 against Bowdoin College in the NCAA Tournament semifinals last May 18 in a 26-11 win over the Polar Bears. It was the most in a NESCAC win since a 27-9 victory over Trinity College last season, and the most goals in a road conference victory since a 27-9 win to open the 2023 season at Colby College.
The Jumbos wasted no time taking complete control of the contest, scoring the game's first six goals over the opening 6:30 of the contest highlighted by three scores from junior attack
Chase Beyer. Beyer scored five total in the opening quarter, as Tufts (9-0, 5-0 NESCAC) took a 10-1 lead in the second frame.
Tufts continue to add on in the second frame, as
