MIDDLEBURY MAKES IT 5 DIII WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIPS IN A ROW.
The women of Middlebury become only the 4th women's lacrosse program in DI, DII or DIII to win 5 or more consecutive NCAA lacrosse championships.
Middlebury is the first women's program to do it since Northwestern (DI) won 5 in a row from 2005 through 2009.
The others to achieve this feat are Maryland (DI) from 1995 through 2001, and The College of New Jersey (DIII), which won 6 consecutive national championships from 1991 through 1996
Outstanding seasons for both teams! Congratulations! CT was well represented with players on Hopkins from New Canaan and Fairfield and On Midd from New Canaan, Madison and Danbury.
Middlebury's Audrey Lazar scored both goals in a 2-0 shutout over Johns Hopkins, helping the Panther field hockey team secure their sixth-straight NCAA Championship and finish with a perfect 22-0 mark.

“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.
Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.
When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.
Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”

@Super70sSports My dad was coaching that game! Deerfield Academy upset and undefeated Northfield Mount Hermon. NFL films did a story on it a few year ago!
The @MiddAthletics women’s stick programs (field hockey, ice hockey and lacrosse) went 71-1 this year with three national titles. The incredible feat is especially meaningful for the Panthers as they celebrate the 50th anniversary of Title IX and the opportunities it created.
