Middlebury capped off a 22-game winning streak on Sunday in Ashland, Virginia, winning the program's seventh NCAA Division III women's lacrosse championship. In a game that was interrupted by a weather delay, the Panthers topped the Salisbury Sea Gulls 14-9.
The Panthers led wire-to-wire, opening the game with a three-goal lead over the Sea Gulls and never allowed the opposition to equalize. Emma McDonagh led Middlebury with four goals and one assist in the title game, while Jane Early also notched four goals. Goalkeeper Julia Keith made eight saves.
It's Middlebury's second title in four years, as it last won in 2016.
