It was a tough day to be a Bant on Saturday vs. Midd. We had high hopes of playing our best lacrosse against a very tough opponent but things just did not go our way! We got off to a difficult start early, going down 5-1. We did make a bit of a comeback and closed the gap to 5-3 off of Caite and Rachel goals. We however would not score for the rest of the half as we watched Middlebury go on a 7-0 run to take a 12-3 lead at the half.
Disappointed by a shaky first half, we came out stronger in the second and closed the gap to 13-7 and then 14-8. That was the closest we would come as Middlebury scored some late goals against our extended pressure. We did score the last goal of the game, so in some ways we had the last word, but it was obviously too little, too late.
While we were bummed not to have played a better game (plagued mostly by turnovers and lack of possession on attack) we would love to see Midd again in the playoffs and have another go at them. We did still manage to secure a home seed for the 1st round of NESCACs which is on Sunday. We wrap up the regular season on Friday vs. Amherst at 7pm and then we play on Sunday vs. the #5 seed which we'll find out late Friday night.
We are excited to be home for both games this weekend and look forward to rebounding from our performance in VT! The weather finally warms up for us tomorrow and even heats up to a predicted 85 degrees for Sunday!
GO BANTS!!
