MIDDLEBURY IMPROVES TO 6-0
MIDDLEBURY, Vermont – Middlebury handed Colby its first loss of the season en route a 4-1 win as they improved to 6-0 on the season. The Panthers allowed their first goal of the season in the game, although it was on a penalty kick, ending the scoreless streak at 462 minutes. This is the best start to a season for Middlebury since the ’98 team opened the season at 13-0.
Following the converted penalty kick from Ryan Boccuzzi, Pat Saunders tied the game for Middlebury less than three minutes later, as he headed in a corner kick from Andrew Stewart. The Panthers took a 2-1 lead late in the half when John Sales scored with a rocket from 25 yards away. In the second half, Sales notched his second of the game at 65:25, while Sam Raymond converted a Stewart pass to make it a 4-1 final.
