Winning After MidKnight

                         

We have an easy Monday as there are no Middletown Athletics sporting events and only a few Middletown alumni in action today and we’ll help to get you through those as we look at the Knights Notes for September 12^th.

Yesterday’s News-9/11

- Emma Provost (’16) and the La Salle Field Hockey team got back into their winning ways as they wrapped up a 2-1 win over the Lehigh Mountain Hawks in the home opener for the Explorers. Provost did not play in the La Salle win. (Link)

- Joann Engestrom (Volunteer Assistant Coach) and the Maryland Field Hockey team would pick up the first piece of hardware that the Terps have received in this early season as they took down American 6-2 in the championship game of the Terrapin Invitational. The Terps rolled over the two game tournament as they won by margins of four twice in the tournament. (Link)

- Jake Darr (’16) and Washington & Jefferson Golf would compete at the Guy Kuhn Invitational at Allegheny College and it would be a good day for both the Presidents and Darr as Darr would finish day one with a 75, good enough for a tie for eleventh place while the Presidents would hold twelfth place of 18 teams after the first round. (Link)

- Clay Smith (’16) and Hood College Men’s Soccer would not be able to start the season with five straight games without  a loss as the Blazers would fall in double overtime to Goucher by a 3-2 score. Smith would stay hot for Hood as he would score the opening goal of the contest and would add nine shots and seven shots on goal to his ledger. (Link)

- MacKenzie Noel (’13) and the Salisbury Women’s Soccer team would pick up their second draw in two games as they would tie with Denison by a 2-2 scoreline. Noel who is rehabbing from injury would not play. (Link)

- Alizah Johns-Boehme (’15) and the Villanova Women’s Soccer team would struggle again as they dropped their six straight game as this time they would fall to the Lehigh Mountain Hawks, 2-0 as the Wildcats still try to right the ship. Johns-Boehme would record a shot while playing in 36 minutes of action. (Link)

- Haley Dalphon (’15) and the Frostburg State Women’s Soccer team would not be able to handle the challenge brought to them by #12 Swarthmore as they would fall to the Garnet 3-0. Dalphon would record a shot in the Bobcats’ loss. (Link)

- Sarah Kovalchick (’15) and the Maryland Women’s Soccer team would fight until the very end but would fall to George Mason 5-2 in College Park. From a personal standpoint it was a good night, as Kovalchick would make her season debut in the loss as she would play four minutes. (Link)

Alumni and High School Record: 2-4-1 (all college), 11^th place.

Knight of the Day: Clay Smith would score another goal and on a day with not a lot of Middletown alumni in action his goal is what stands out to us.

 

Today’s Happenings-9/12

- Erik Williams (’12), Nick DeSimone (’16) and the Shepherd Golf team will compete in the first day of the Glade Springs Intercollegiate at Glade Springs Country Club in Daniels, West Virginia. DeSimone and Williams will tee off in the day long tournament. (Link)

- Jake Darr (’16) and the Washington & Jefferson Golf team will finish off what has been a busy week for them when he plays in the second round of the Guy Kuhn Invitational hosted by Allegheny College. Darr holds eleventh place individually while the Presidents are in twelfth of eighteen teams. (Link)

- Brittney George (’12), Erin Scarborough (’16) and the Hood Women’s Soccer team will look to turn a win into a win streak when they take on Eastern Mennonite University from Harrisonburg, Virginia at 7:00 p.m. (Link)
