Devin Nwanagu scored the game's only goal in the 60th minute and goalie Emily Weedon set a new Bantam record with her seventh shutout of the season to give Trinity a 1-0 victory over Middlebury. The Panthers return to action on Saturday at Amherst in a NESCAC first-round game at 12:00.
The game was scoreless with neither team gaining a decided advantage in pressure on a muddy field, until Trinity's Katie O'Brien headed the ball from midfield up to Lauren Olsen, who threaded the ball up the right wing to a streaking Nwanagu. Nwanagu beat her Panther defender and shot past Lauryn Torch into the lower left corner of the goal. The Panthers outshot the Bantams, 8-6, and made Weedon leave her feet twice in the first half for two of her seven saves in the game. Torch had three saves in the match.
