After dominating in last weekend’s quarterfinals game against Colby College en route to a 30-point victory, the Jeffs remain in possession of the home court advantage that comes with having the top seed in the NESCAC. As the top four seeds in the league all advanced to the semifinals, Amherst will play host to fourth-seeded Bowdoin College in the semifinals on Saturday. The Jeffs will be led by senior tri-captain Stefanie Reiff, who collected 24 points in 27 minutes against the Mules last Saturday.

Despite winning the Div. III National Championship last year, the Jeffs failed to claim the NESCAC title, losing a heartbreaker to Williams College in the finals, 70-69. This season, the team hopes things will be different. After a commanding 17-point victory over Colby College last Saturday in a first-round game, the Jeffs will host fourth-seeded Bowdoin College in LeFrak Gymnasium on Saturday in the semifinals. Though Amherst beat the Polar Bears earlier this month, the six-point victory was one of the season’s tighter games.
