Making its first NCAA Division III tournament appearance since 2017, the men’s soccer team rallied past the Stevens Institute of Technology for a 2-1 first-round win on Nov. 15. After trailing early at Gordon Field, the Judges struck in the 83rd minute when Langston Byrd ’29 (left) set up Keller Chamovitz ’27 (right), who scored the decisive goal.

Though the Brandeis squad fell to top-seeded Tufts in double overtime in the second round, the team ended its season with its highest win total since 2019.
