Huskies Capture a Win Against the Hornets

On a cool and windy Wednesday afternoon, the Huskies hosted Proctor Academy on Kennedy Turf Field for a highly anticipated rematch. The last time these two teams met, the game ended in a 0–0 draw under the lights at Proctor—a result that left New Hampton hungry to show what they were truly capable of. From the opening whistle, the intensity was high, and the crowd could sense the energy on the field.

Proctor struck first in the opening minutes, but the Huskies refused to hang their heads. The response was immediate—Captain Griffin equalized with a powerful header off a set piece just moments later. The momentum continued to swing in New Hampton’s favor when Proctor conceded a handball in the box, giving the Huskies a penalty. Patrick stepped up to the spot and calmly slotted the ball past the keeper to give New Hampton a 2–1 lead.

The Huskies dominated possession, moving the ball with confidence and looking every bit the superior side. It was a lift to have captain Noah back in the midfield, where he dictated the tempo and linked play beautifully. Off the bench, Tomás came on at striker and made an immediate impact—receiving the ball just outside the box, turning, and curling a perfectly placed shot over the keeper for a stunning third goal.

Right before halftime, a defensive miscue in the middle of the field allowed Proctor to pounce and cut the lead to 3–2. The second half was a tense battle, with quality chances on both sides. New Hampton continued to press, narrowly missing two golden opportunities—a shot wide of an open net and a two-on-zero breakaway that just missed the mark.

Despite the missed chances, the Huskies held strong and walked away with a well-deserved 3–2 victory. It was a complete team performance—resilient, composed, and full of heart—marking a statement win at home over a strong rival.
