Zebras Outrun Zebras

The Zebras from Concord struck first early, but Groton's Zebras responded, and the two local rivals sparred evenly into a 2-2 halftime. Groton exploded for five goals in the 3rd, surging to a 7-2 lead, but predictably Middlesex responded by eventually cutting their deficit to an 8-6 count. A transition goal sealed it late in the final frame for Groton.
All elements of the game came together for Groton in this battle: stout defense, ball control offense, stellar face-off play, groundball toughness, and stingy goalkeeping.
