Varsity Field Hockey Defeats BB&N

11/11/2016 6:42:00 AM

The Zebras traveled to Cambridge to meet similarly ranked BBN in the final week of regular season.  With much on the line, Middlesex came out fast and furious, pressuring the Knights defense and protecting goalie DeSimone from the potent BBN offense.  The Zebras finally capitalized on a beautiful shot to take the lead with 19:32 remaining in the half.  Middlesex maintained much of the possession for the next 15 minutes, and the team notched their second with only 38 second remaining in the half.  The Knights came back firing in the second half, earning several offensive corners.  However the stalwart defensive unit shut down the opposing offense with grit, heart, and determination.  The Zebras notched a third tally with 20:19 remaining in the second half and new player, Clarissa Hurley nearly pushed the ball past the BBN goalie for a fourth late in the game.  BBN continued to pressure and found the back of the net with seconds to go.
