Men's golf finishes one shot out of second, takes third
The men's golf team took to the course again this past weekend at the Hamilton Invitational. After securing a spot in the NESCAC tournament last weekend, the team looked to continue its excellent scoring.
The team as a whole placed third posting a combined 603, one behind SUNY Delhi, and 20 strokes behind first-place Skidmore. Mike McCormick '09 led the way for the Panthers recording a 148 that placed him fourth in individual scoring.
Brian Cady '11 was not far off with 150 for the weekend that earned him a spot in the sixth-place tie for individual scores. George Baumann '08 shot a 152, Harrison Bane '08.5 shot a 153, and Jeff Patterson '08.5 shot a 161 to round out the team this weekend. The team has the next weekend off to prepare for the NEIGA Championships in Brewster, Mass. over Fall Break.
Women's soccer goes all 110 minutes with Amherst
This week the women's soccer team traveled to Amherst for a rematch of last year's NESCAC championship. True to last year's game, the Panthers and the Lord Jeffs played a scoreless first half.
Amherst rifled off eight shots in the first half, with Middlebury keeper Adele Plunkett '09 saving all six that made it on frame. Both teams were anxious to break the tie in the second but again solid keeper play from Plunkett and Amherst's Lili Ferguson, coupled with staunch defense on both sides kept the score knotted at zeros after full time.
The first overtime Middlebury saw the best scoring chance as Jenny Galgano '10 burned her mark en route to a breakaway, only to have her shot tipped over the crossbar by the Amherst goalie. As time was about to expire, Middlebury received a free kick that snuck through the wall, only to be turned aside by Ferguson. Margaret Owen '10 was active offensively for the Panthers with three shots on goal, while Amherst standout Meg Murphy tallied six shots to lead the Lord Jeffs.
Caitlin Parker '08 stressed the importance of this weekend's game, saying, "we really need the support of the fans this weekend. Williams is undefeated and we really need a big win."
