Middlebury, Vt. - The visiting Trinity College Bantams dropped a 3-1 decision against the Middlebury College Panthers in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) men's soccer action this afternoon.  Trinity falls to 7-2-2 overall and 3-2-2 in the NESCAC, while the Panthers improve to 4-3-1 overall and 3-3-1 in the conference with their first win in three games. 

Middlebury took a 1-0 lead exactly 18 minutes into the game. Adam Glaser took a pass from Tom Bean and moved towards the goal before chipping a quick shot over Trinity junior goalkeeper Jason Katz (Middleton, Mass.) for the marker. Deklan Robinson gave his team a 2-0 lead at 24:17, heading in a crossing pass from the right side by Harper Williams.  Trinity got on the board with 6:24 left in the half when rookie forward Cody Savonen (Orleans, Mass.) found Fernando Cuervo-Torello (Arlington, Mass.) at the top of the box for the first marker of his career.

Middlebury regained its two-goal cushion 51:04 into the contest with Glaser's team-leading fifth goal of the season. Greg Conrad headed the ball into the middle where Glaser battled before creating some space with a quick shot to the back of the net.  The Panthers had another great chance in the 79th minute, but a beautiful shot from Williams from a restart 25 yards out was denied by a leaping save from Trinity freshman backstop Domenic Quade (Norwood, Mass.).  Ethan Collins finished the game with a pair of saves for Middlebury, while Katz and Quade made four and two saves, respectively.
