ANDOVER – What was a five-goal lead for Middlesex at the half against Phillips Andover Academy on Wednesday changed drastically into a one-goal nail-biter with less than four minutes remaining.
The Zebras held on to win though, 11-10, and stopped Andover’s near comeback after the Blue tallied five goals in the fourth quarter.
“We’re just happy to come out on top and I think the guys showed a lot of composure in the end and a lot of grit,” said Middlesex School head coach Doug Worthen.
Winning faceoffs and strong sophomore goalie performances from Will Cohen and Arjun Rath - who split time - were key to Middlesex’s win, Worthen said.
