Unsure a few weeks ago whether their season would continue, Tufts University has gone from bubble team to one win away from playing for a second national championship in three years, thanks in part to a couple players from the Philadelphia region.
Senior midfielder Kevin Lawson, of Narberth, Pa. and freshman forward Joseph Braun, of Yardley, Pa. both have a chance to do something special on opposite ends of their college careers at the NCAA Division III Final Four this weekend in Salem, Virginia.
“This year to actually be able to make a positive contribution on and off the field has been pretty surreal for me,” said Lawson, who made only five appearances when the Jumbos won the national title in his sophomore season.
