Field hockey battles Tufts into overtime loss at NESCAC semifinals

No. 5 field hockey (11-6, 6-4 NESCAC) fell 3-2 in overtime to the No. 1 Tufts Jumbos (18-0, 10-0 NESCAC) during the NESCAC semifinals in Medford, Mass., on Saturday. Heading into the big game, the Ephs embraced their underdog status against the top-seeded and undefeated Jumbos, who had previously defeated the Ephs at home on Oct. 24. “We often say it’s our favorite position to be in,” midfielder Claire Colvin ’27 said. “All of the pressure is on the other team to show up and perform and produce the result that is predicted on paper. We love it because we are just able to put everything on the line. [We had] nothing to lose, and I think that’s exactly how we played on Saturday.”

Leadership Insights with Dr. Robert Kerstein of RBK Consulting

Dr. Robert B. Kerstein is a nationally recognized prosthodontist, educator, researcher, and thought leader with more than 40 years of experience advancing the understanding of occlusion, temporomandibular disorders, and restorative dentistry. He earned his D.M.D. in 1983 and his Prosthodontic certificate in 1985 from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where he later served for 13 years as a clinical professor of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics. Throughout his career, Dr. Kerstein has championed a more objective, evidence-based approach to evaluating bite function and understanding its impact on restorative outcomes, patient comfort, and long-term oral health. A pioneer in digital occlusal analysis, he has studied every generation of T-Scan technology since 1984 and has become one of the field’s leading authorities on its clinical applications. His scholarship includes extensive contributions to peer-reviewed dental journals as well as nine edited research volumes exploring occlusion, bite analysis, and T-Scan applications. As an educator and clinician, Dr. Kerstein has helped advance the use of measurable occlusal data to inform treatment decisions rather than relying solely on traditional subjective assessment methods. His work continues to shape how clinicians approach occlusion, with the goal of improving treatment predictability, patient comfort, and the longevity of restorative care.
