Freshman middie Elexus Ray led the way with nine goals, Emma Yoffe had two and Amanda Wexler added one as the Dolphins claimed their fourth title overall.

Taylor, the star goalkeeper, would tell her, “You’re the best middie ever!”

The other four women’s finalists named were Apuzzo’s teammate, midfielder Dempsey Arsenault, middie Jen Giles of Maryland, attack Selena Lasota of Northwestern, and Maryland goalie Megan Taylor.

His father, John S. McCain Jr., was an undersized but scrappy “middie” who himself earned poor marks at the Academy before he commanded all forces in Vietnam during his son’s captivity.

A game similar to rock-paper-scissors was played to see which middie would take the fall for McCain.
