Middlebury College's Jed Sass scored in the 55th minute and lifted the Panthers to a 1-0 NESCAC victory against the Hamilton College Continentals at Middlebury's South Street Field on Sunday afternoon.

Linds Cadwell '20 made three saves and Aidan Wood '20 put three shots on goal for Hamilton (3-2-1, 1-2-0 NESCAC).

Jeremy Yeager earned the shutout by stopping four shots for the Panthers (4-1-0, 2-1). Middlebury doubled up the Continentals in shots, 10-5, but Hamilton held a 4-2 edge in corner kicks.

Sass scored the lone goal 9:32 into the second half when he tapped in a rebound of his own initial shot that had hit the post.

Hamilton's best chance to score in the first half came in the 14th minute when Wood's shot from 8 yards away and another from point-blank range by Jefri Schmidt '20 were both knocked away by Yeager. About four minutes into the second half, Yeager dove to his right and punched away a bending shot by Wood from about 15 yards out.

The Continentals travel to Connecticut College for another NESCAC contest on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 2 p.m.
