| Trailing 3-2 in the first quarter, Middlebury went on a 10-0 run, building a 12-3 lead in the third quarter en route to a 16-10 win over Colby on Youngman Field at Alumni Stadium. The Panthers’ (11-2, 7-2) win secures a NESCAC quarterfinal home contest on Saturday, while a Middlebury victory over Williams on Wednesday in the regular-season finale ensures the top seed for the NESCAC tournament. In the first quarter, both teams exchanges a pair of goals each before Colby’s Greg McKillop notched his second tally at 6:06, giving the Mules a 3-2 lead. The Panthers started their 10-goal barrage with three in the first quarter as Jon Broome scored one and assisted on another, closing out the first stanza with a 5-3 lead. Middlebury added five more goals in the second quarter as five different Panthers scored. Tim Giarrusso opened with a fast-break tally, as the hosts added two more on a pair of man-up goals during a two-minute non-releasable Colby penalty. Broome notched his second goal after a set-up from Mike Giordano at 2:19, as Andrew Metros capped the quarter with a nifty dodge for a 10-3 lead heading into the break. The Panthers capped their 10-goal run in the third as Joel Blockowicz scored on a sweeping lefty shot at 13:21. Erich Pfeffer’s man-up bounce-shot capped the burst as seven Middlebury players scored during the decisive run. Trailing 12-3, Colby (6-8, 2-7) notched a pair of goals in 35 seconds as McKillop scored his third in transition at the 8:00 mark. Keith Fairbrother followed at 7:25 on a spinning lefty shot in traffic. The Panthers answered with a pair of their own as Pfeffer and Stew Kerr added goals for a 14-5 lead. The teams exchanged tallies in the final minutes of the third as the Panthers took a comfortable 15-6 lead into the fourth quarter.
