The fifth-seeded Raiders defeated No. 3 Windsor 5-0 in South Burlington.

Stowe senior Sarah Hailey wrapped up her varsity career with a hat trick.

Hailey got Stowe on the board with in the 38th minute to send the Raiders into halftime with a 1-0 lead. The team came out with an extra bounce in its step, scoring two quick goals to start the second half.

Ana Ortiz and Izzy Lovell also scored for Stowe.

Just as important as Stowe’s offensive onslaught in the second half was its dedication to frustrating Windsor’s leading scorer, captain Aubrey Rupp.
