The Middlesex Zebras opened the 2018 season on a beautiful fall day against the New Hampton Huskies. Even on a hot day, both teams battled tirelessly through the midfield but neither were able to create scoring opportunities in the first half. The Huskies started off the second half strong with several player-up situations but the stingy Middlesex defense led by Alex Fehnel '19 and goalkeeper Isabella Constantino '19 stopped multiple scoring threats. With 10 minutes remaining in the game, the Huskies scored off of a scrum in front of the net. Middlesex continued to hustle through the midfield and created some nice passing sequences up the sidelines but unfortunately were unable to find the equalizer before the final whistle. The Zebras will take the field against out-of-league opponent, Exeter, on Thursday.
