Winning After MidKnight
The
Middletown High School Knights Junior Varsity Girl’s Soccer team will look to
start their season off with a win when they take on the Brunswick High School
Railroaders at Brunswick High School at 5:30 p.m.
This looks to
be a good contest for the Knights to start off with as at this level the
Railroaders are more of an underdog team who has struggled to put good results
together during past seasons.
The goal for
Middletown will come from an offensive standpoint as Middletown has looked
solid at defense during their first few scrimmages but like their older
counterparts at Varsity, have had trouble putting the ball in the back of the
net on a consistent basis.
This
challenge may be something that the Knights will have an opportunity to resolve
today as they will take on a Railroaders squad that will give Middletown plenty
of opportunities to be aggressive on the ball and allow them to dictate the
tempo of play at the pace that will suit Middletown the best.
For Middletown
some of the key parts that will help the Knights dip into the offensive style
of play are sophomore midfielder Gemma Carioti, sophomore forward Abigail
Tatem, and sophomore forward Sarah O’Toole. All three are very potent and
powerful for the Knights up front but haven’t found away to tap into that
potency so far this year and will need to do that against the Railroaders if
the Knights want to start their season out with a 1-0 record.
Defensively
the Knights have already proven that they are solid on the back line and in
between the goals as a large group of Knights including sophomore goalkeeper
Molly Faron and others will hope to continue the solid overall play that they
showed off during the pre-season.
For
Middletown, it will be a chance to break their dry spell and ride the waves all
the way to a victory over Brunswick.
