WATERVILLE, Maine — The Middlebury College field hockey team picked up two wins this past weekend to improve to 6-1, 3-1 in NESCAC play. The Panthers will visit league foe Trinity on Saturday after a Wednesday date at No. 7 Skidmore. They were ranked No. 5 in last week’s NCAA Division III poll.
On Saturday, Middlebury scored twice in the first nine minutes and went on to a 3-1 NESCAC victory over host Colby (4-4, 0-4 NESCAC).

In the second half, the Panthers converted a three-on-one advantage. Anna Kenyon worked down the right side, and pushed a ball across to Instrum for a one-touch score at 28:54.
The Mules got on the scoreboard on a penalty corner with 3:48 remaining. Both teams finished with 20 shots, while the Panthers held a 9-8 edge in penalty corners. Middlebury goalie Emily Knapp recorded five of her seven saves in the first half. Colby goaltender Sarah Evans was credited with nine stops.
