KEENE, N.H.--A pair of second half goals were enough to give visiting Middlebury College a 3-1 win over host Keene State College at Dr. Ron Butcher Field on Tuesday evening.
Records
- Keene State: 3-6-3
- Middlebury: 9-3-1
How it Happened
Keene State held off a succession of Middlebury corners in the early moments of the game, as Anthony Pasicuto (seven saves) made a pair of stops on Shane Ferrell and Jordan Saint-Louis.  The Owls had an opportunity to take the lead in the 22nd minute as
Henry Cummings was left alone at the top of the box, but his shot whistled over the bar and out of play.
Andrew Juarez put the Panthers in fron in the 26th minute; just after coming on as a substitute, Juarez took advantage of a loose ball in the box to scramble home his first goal of the season. The Panthers carried that lead into the break, but Keene State drew level just 74 seconds after the restarted.  The Owls were awarded a corner kick, and
Nicholas Dalesio powered home a header from
Denis Fleming's delivery to tie the game up.
The Panthers re-took the lead in the 50th minute, as leading scorer Saint-Louis nicked the ball off a KSC defender and raced in on goal to beat Pasciuto down to his left. Middlebury wrapped it up with the Tyler Payne's goal in the 81st minute.
