The Minutewomen are tied with Tufts for first place in a field of 21 with 26 points after day one of the New England Championship at Stonehill College. Julie LaFreniere's squad also reigned in their sixth gold medal of the year on Friday when Rachelle Bourque threw 150-feet 5-inches in the javelin to win her second New England Championship of her four year career. The mark shatters her previous UMass record of 143-feet, 1-inch and qualifies her for NCAA East Regionals in two weeks.
