It’s a Sunday and that means per Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (M.P.S.S.A.A.) rules there are no events being played at the high school level on August 28^th but there is a ton of Middletown alumni with college games today so fire up the barbeque one last time before summer ends and enjoy today’s Knights Notes.

Yesterday’s News

- Ali Williams (’16) and the Appalachian State Field Hockey team lost a heartbreaker yesterday when they fell to Georgetown 4-3, in overtime. Even though the Mountaineers fell to the Hoyas, Williams picked up a goal in the 2^nd half, that gave the Mountaineers a 3-2 lead at the time. (Link)

- Another Middletown Field Hockey alum lost a heartbreaker as Emma Provost (’16) and La Salle fell in overtime to Vermont, 3-2, giving the Catamounts the 2016 Catamount Classic trophy. Provost did not play in the win. (Link)

- It was also a bad day for Maryland Field Hockey and Middletown Alum and Volunteer Assistant Coach Joann Engestrom, as #6 Maryland fell to #2 Syracuse, by a score of 4-1 in Philadelphia. (Link)

- Alizah Johns-Boehme and the Villanova Field Hockey team had a nationally televised match-up but ended up falling short as they lost late in the game against Princeton, by a final score of 1-0. Johns-Boehme did not play in the match. (Link)

- The Frederick Community College Women’s Soccer team fell again as they lost to Oxford College at Emory University, in Wilmington, North Carolina by a score of 1-0.

- Sarah Kovalchick (’15) and the Maryland Women’s Soccer team ended their contest on a much more positive note, taking down Penn by a score of 3-1. Kovalchick did not play in the Maryland win. (Link)

- Connor Myers (’12) and the South Bend Cubs are still struggling, dropping a 2-0 contest to the Great Lakes Loons (the Dodgers A affiliate) out in the Heartlands. Myers had anormal day at the plate, going 1-3 with a strikeout. (Link)

Knight of the Day: Today was Ali Williams picking up the award, as her one goal *almost* helped the Mountaineers to a win and seemed, at the time, to have put them solidly in the drivers seat.

Today’s Happenings

- The Middletown Junior Varsity and Varsity Girls Soccer teams will scrimmage Walt Whitman tonight at 5:00 and 6:40, respectively.

- Connor Myers and the South Bend Cubs will have look again to get in the win column as they will take on the Great Lakes Loons in a Sunday matinee from Indiana. The first pitch will come at 7:05 p.m. (Link)
