Middlebury continued to roll as they used four first half goals en route to a 6-0 win over Springfield on Kohn Field. The fifth-ranked Panthers return to action when they host Wesleyan this Saturday at 11:00 a.m.
Middlebury struck first as Heather McCormack scored with some nice stick work down low. Chase Delano made it a 2-0 game at the 21:54 mark as she finished after a scramble. The Panthers took a 3-0 advantage when McCormack scored her second of the game on the third shot of an offensive flurry. Allison Grant closed the first half scoring as she tipped in a pass from Delano.
The game remained at 4-0 for much of the second half, until Sophie Thompson scored on a backhander with 11:12 remaining. Thompson struck again less than four minutes later, putting home a rebound after a shot from McCormack was saved.
Caitlin Pentifallo was not forced to make any saves in 54 minutes of play, while Becca Shaw made a pair of stops for the Panthers. Kelleanne Salazar made a dozen saves on the afternoon for the Pride.
