Angry Fans Go Green

We’re all about The Campus’ Green Issue, but given the current amount of sustainability in professional and major college sports we didn’t feel a though it would be appropriate to sing the praises of environmentalism. Since golf courses are given more water than third world countries and tailgating ...

Middlebury Athletics “goes green” for Homecoming

Green, aside from being the color of the fields, is not a characteristic usually associated with sports; however, students and faculty alike are working to change this image. Middlebury’s commitment to sustainability initiatives is incredibly broad-based and student-centric, as is evinced by the participation ...

Men’s soccer stunned in O.T. loss

All good things must come to an end. The Middlebury men’s soccer team’s 673-minute shutout streak that dated back to overtime of the 2009 NESCAC final game was snapped last weekend, as Colby scored two minutes before the end of the first half of Saturday’s 2-1 double-overtime loss. The Panthers ...

Football turns over win to Colby

The Panthers dropped to 1-1 on Saturday, losing to NESCAC rival Colby 38-27. It was a frustrating day for the Panthers, who, despite forcing four turnovers, also committed four turnovers themselves in what was a very sloppy game. The defense has continued to be something of a dichotomy for the Panthers. ...

Tennis rebounds at Dartmouth

Some things just never seem to change about Middlebury Athletics, and the glowing success of the men’s tennis squad is certainly no exception.

Panthers attack Mules, emerge with 2-0 win

The women’s soccer team is rising.

Now the Panthers have the momentum of three straight wins ...

Inside the Locker Room

This season, the one question on the minds of the Panther football team is not the win tally for the fall or the number of records QB Donnie McKillop ’11 will break, but when was the last time Dola got a haircut? Defensive lineman Chris Dola ’12 is not only distinguished by completing the second-most ...

Football lines up a win in home opener

Head football coach Bob Ritter can exhale: his Middlebury Panthers opened the 2010 football season with a 24-21 win over the Wesleyan Cardinals. He may, however, have a few more gray hairs then he did before the game. Leading 24-14 with just over 10 minutes left in the game, the Panthers drove deep ...

Panthers pounce in OT for first NESCAC win

Sometimes, the game comes down to a matter of inches. In Saturday’s 2-1 overtime victory, the Panthers women’s soccer team proved they had that extra determination to bring home a goal just 1:06 into the first extra period, and earned their first NESCAC win of the season. The game featured two ...

The game was a close contest, as it ...
