Senior goaltender Alexi Bloom won her 40th career game for Middlebury as the Panthers (17-4-1, 13-1-1 NESCAC) picked up a 4-0 road win at Colby (8-15-0, 4-11-0). A win or a tie tomorrow at Bowdoin will clinch the top seed for the Panthers in the upcoming NESCAC Tournament. A loss would result in a coin toss to determine the top seed between Middlebury and Amherst.

Madeline Joyce scored at 13:34 of the first period and Nora Bergman added a second goal for the Panthers about three minutes later. Anna McNally and Lauren Greer added third period goals in the win.
