Midd Drops Close Game in the Muck at Batavia

Batavia New York, Nov 12, 2006: In this year’s second meeting (the grudge match) between the Coast Guard and Middlebury College the Bears bested the Panthers by their biggest margin of victory ever - a whopping six points. Both teams slogged it out on a rain-soaked and battered pitch and at the end Middlebury was left holding the wee end of a 11- 5 final score, again short of their goal of beating the Academy twice in the same year.

Coming off their brilliant win in the New England’s (I don’t think the Coast Guard has EVER beaten Middlebury in the NERFU conference finals -quick, get my statistician in here…) Middlebury was focused and ready for the rematch. Somehow though, the Northeast Regional tournament holds a special kind of ‘kick it up a notch’ juju for the Academy ruggers. They once again held on to their slim lead, scoring a couple of late game penalty kicks to win their fourth straight Northeast Championship, their third against Middlebury.

And so it has gone lately: Midd wins Conference and CGA wins Northeasts. More to follow.
