MIDDLEBURY<\/strong> — Cheick Diakite rushed for 243 yards and scored three touchdowns and the Brattleboro Colonels topped the Middlebury Tigers 28-13 on Friday night on Doc Collins Field.<\/p>\n After Middlebury took a 7-0 lead into halftime the Colonels dominated the second half, scoring 28 unanswered points to build a 28-7 fourth quarter lead. \u00a0After Diakite finished off a Bratt drive with a three yard run to tie the game, linebacker Conor Hiner picked off a Middlebury pass and returned it 25 yards to pay dirt a minute and a half later as the visitors took the lead for good.<\/p>\n Then \u00a0following Matt Gaboriault’s second end zone interception of the night early in the fourth, the Colonels marched up field on a 13 play 96 yard drive which Diakite finished off on a 27 yard TD run. The powerful back then capped his night with a 33 yard run to the end zone with 2:25 left to play.<\/p>\n It was a painful loss for the Tigers, who lost their first regular season game since 2012. Middlebury turned the ball over five times, scoring only on a three yard first quarter run by quarterback Andrew Gleason and a 69 yard late fourth gallop by reserve back Dustin Davio.<\/p>\n The win improves Brattleboro’s record to 1-2. Middlebury is 2-1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MIDDLEBURY — Cheick Diakite rushed for 243 yards and scored three touchdowns and the Brattleboro Colonels topped the Middlebury Tigers 28-13 on Friday night on Doc Collins Field.
