EWING, N.J. - The Middlebury women's soccer team saw its season come to an end as they fell 1-0 at The College of New Jersey in the NCAA sectionals. Middlebury’s season ends after an impressive 15-3-1 record, tying the school mark for most wins in a season. It was the program’s fourth appearance in the NCAA’s. The Panthers now hold a 6-4 lifetime record in the NCAA tournament after advancing to the sectionals for the second time in the last three years.
