There has been improvement, development and advancement.
And at this point of the season, Middleton’s boys soccer team will take it.
The Cardinals won two of three games last week and improved to 3-4 overall on the young season.
Middleton defeated Beloit Memorial, 2-1, in overtime last Tuesday to notch its first Big Eight Conference win of the year.
The Cardinals then dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to Menomonee Falls at the Kettle Moraine Tournament Friday. Middleton bounced back, though, with a 3-0 blanking of Racine St. Catherine’s at the Kettle Moraine Tournament Saturday.
“We have suddenly had a quantum leap in the level of our play and we are finding our game,” Middleton coach Ben Kollasch said.
Middleton senior forward Devin Ketelboeter was the hero of the Beloit win. Ketelboeter scored just more than two minutes into overtime on an assist from senior forward Trent McKinnon.
