Seven Engineers were honored by the New England Football Conference for their achievements both on and off the field.

Playing through monsoon-like rain and ankle-deep mud, MIT Women’s Rugby inched up the field against tough opposition from Middlebury at the New England Championship game in Newport, RI on Saturday. MIT controlled the ball for most of the game. With a try in the first half and another plus a penalty in the second, MIT won with a score of 13-0. Next up for the team is the National Championships in Cherry Hill, NJ this weekend.

The MIT women's cross country team came into Saturday's NCAA Division III New England Regional Championship ranked number four in the nation and tops in the region. Thanks to an impressive performance led by individual champion Jacqueline M. Wentz ’10 and third-place finisher, Maria J. Monks ’10, the Engineers justified those rankings and took home the Team Championship for the first time in program history. MIT and defending National Champion Middlebury finished with the same number of team points, 63, with their top five runners, but Brooke C. Johnson ’13 came through the chute just 2.1 seconds faster than Middlebury's number six, giving Tech the tiebreaker and the New England Championship.
