"Wesleyan was feisty, but we took it upon ourselves to play our game from the first whistle," said co-captain Katherine Entwisle '08. "We dominated out there - our midfield connections looked awesome and the intensity was high the entire game."
Entwisle led the Panthers in goals on Saturday, scoring six and beginning the team's scoring streak. Wesleyan scored the first goal of the game less than one minute after the opening buzzer, boosting the Cardinals' confidence. Middlebury responded, however, four minutes later off a free position shot by Entwisle to tie the game at one.
The Panthers went on to score four more unanswered goals. Mimi Schatz '08 had three consecutive assists in the first 10 minutes of the game, setting up goals for Entwisle, first-year Sally Ryan '11 and Lindsay Winstead '10, while adding two goals of her own in the half. Ryan finished with four, netting the second-most goals for the team.
The Cardinals scored again 10 minutes into the first half, cutting the Panther lead to three. Middlebury responded with a streak of seven goals - two from co-captain Reid Berrien '08, who finished the game with a hat trick. The Panthers dominated the half, outscoring the Cardinals 12-2.
In the second half against Wesleyan, the Panthers were less dominant, but still outscored the Cardinals by three.
Again, Wesleyan had the first goal of the half, but the Cardinals' efforts were soon extinguished when Ryan responded with a pair of unassisted goals. Entwisle also had two unassisted goals in the half. Blair Bowie '09 had five saves and played for the majority of the game.
