MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School boys’ soccer team opened its 2024 campaign this past Saturday with a 4-2 loss at Division I foe Rutland. 

RHS scored four straight goals in the second half to erase the Tigers’ 1-0 halftime advantage. Theo Fallis headed home an Oscar Drake service to give the Tiger the first-half lead, and Fallis also buried a free kick in the late going to create the final score. 

The Tigers were set for their home opener under new Coach Max Ratti-Bicknell on Wednesday vs. Spaulding in a game played after the deadline for this issue. Next up is a game at Harwood on Saturday morning.
