The Zebras came out a bit short today in a back-and-forth battle between two rival teams, but they secured a tie after 70 minutes of play.

Middlesex dominated the game in the first stanza, sending balls into the circle, but the offense had a tough time generating true shots on the Brooks' goalie.  The visiting team had a few opportunities, but the Zebra defense turned them away.  

In the second half, Middlesex adjusted their game slightly, but it was not enough to create clean opportunities in the offensive circle.  The game transformed into a big ball game up the middle with both teams playing in desperation.  As the time dwindled, the teams prepared for overtime play. 

Middlesex had a couple of terrific opportunities, including a breakaway, but the Brook's goalie clinched the save (and the tie game) with a gutsy dive.The game remained scoreless after the overtime, leaving Middlesex with a sense of unfinished business, but the Zebras look forward to rebounding when they take on Governors' Academy on Wednesday, October 9 on the road.
