Pam Schulman tallied two goals and assisted on a career-high three others lifting fourth-ranked Middlebury to a 6-1 victory Saturday over fifth-ranked Tufts on a rain-soaked Kohn Field. With the win, Panther head coach Katharine DeLorenzo recorded her 200th victory (200-50) in her 14th season at Middlebury. Overall, DeLorenzo's career record as a head coach stands at 295-114-2.

The Panthers (8-1, 4-1) will travel to Williams on Tuesday for a 6:00 p.m. game, while Tufts (7-2, 3-2) will travel to Connecticut College next Saturday at noon.

The Panthers jumped on the board early with a goal in the third minute. Just 2:21 into the match on a penalty corner, Schulman sent a hard, low shot toward the goal from eight yards out that Annie Leonard tapped in. A little more than eight minutes later, Schulman dribbled down the left side of the field all the way to the end line. She stopped and sent a nifty pass to the stick of Bridget Instrum, who tapped it in at 10:45 for a 2-0 Middlebury advantage.

The score remained a two-goal edge for the Panthers headed to the halftime break. A little over a minute after the intermission, Middlebury drew a penalty corner opportunity. During that possession, Schulman received the ball on the left side and found a cutting Leonard in front of the Jumbo goal for a 3-0 lead at 36:08.

Keeping the offensive pressure going, Schulman put her name in the goal-scoring column following a scrum in front of the goal at 39:58. Just under eight minutes later, she was on the receiving end on an Instrum pass. Instrum dribbled down the left side, reverse pivoted, and sent a hard pass to the stick of Schulman, who put it home at the 47:43 mark.

Trailing 5-0, Tufts got on the board during a penalty corner when Dakota Sikes-Kelip rocketed a shot from just inside the arc. Dominique Zarrella redirected the shot into the back of the Panther goal at 61:39.

Just 37 seconds later, Hollis Perticone completed the Middlebury scoring with her fifth goal of the season. Josie Trichka worked her way down the right side of the field, and smacked a pinpoint pass to Perticone, who scored in front of a wide-open cage.

Middlebury finished with a 16-6 shots advantage in the contest, while holding a 14-6 edge in penalty corners. Emily Knapp tallied four saves in front of the Middlebury goal, while Brianna Keenan was credited with nine stops for the Jumbos.
