Matt Noonan, who is the host and producer of the Noontime Sports Podcast, welcomes not one, but three guests to this week's show. 

Noonan begins the show chatting with Logan Tomlinson, who is a wide receiver for Wesleyan University (2:30). Tomlinson and the Cardinals outlasted Tufts University last Saturday to secure a hard-fought win. And with their victory over the Jumbos, Wesleyan remains in the mix for a New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) crown. 

Following Tomlinson, Noonan welcomes Joey Mauriello and Elian Telford of Salve Regina University (10:16). Mauriello recently became the Seahawks' all-time rushing leader last week -- he has now rushed for 3,962 yards on 632 carries and 40 touchdowns. Salve Regina scored an important conference win last Saturday against Western New England.

Bates topped Amherst College for the first time in 23 years to snap a three-game losing streak that included setbacks to Tufts University, Colby College, and Wesleyan University. Coyne discusses the culture he and his staff are building since he was named the 22nd head coach of the football team in February.
