WESTMINSTER, Vt. — A second straight win over Bellows Falls, this time by a 3-1 tally on the road on Tuesday afternoon, has the Windsor High girls soccer team surging up the VPA Division III standings.
Evelyn Page had the first two goals for Windsor (6-1-0). Elliot Rupp added a goal, a rocket dotted into the corner of the net for an insurance goal with 10 minutes left to play. Page added an assist on Rupp’s goal.
Rupp scored four goals in Windsor’s 5-0 win over the Terriers on Friday night and was the main focus of the opposition defense from the start.
“Bellows Falls did what they could to try and shut her down,” Windsor coach Jeff Bachey said. “Abigail Broadley (of Bellows Falls) played great D on Elliot for the majority of the game. This freed up Evelyn for some great shots on frame.”
Goalkeeper Adi Prior made five saves for Windsor, which has allowed just three goals in its last six games. Windsor visits White River Valley on Thursday.
BRANDON, Vt. — The Wasps got it going early, building a 6-0 lead at halftime in cruising over the Otters.
Tom Bissaillon had two goals and two assists to pace the Woodstock attack. Andrew Gubbins, Mason Harkins and Ezra Lockhart each added a pair of goals. Parker Kuhnert had a goal and two assists. Harkins had one helper and Alec Smail had two.
Coach Rob Stainton praised the defensive effort by the Wasps, keeping it clean in front of keepers Bissaillon and Michael La Croix. Otter Valley was unable to create any sustained pressure on either netminder.
Woodstock (5-2-1) will host Stratton Mountain on Thursday to close the regular season.
FAIRFAX, Vt. — The Olympians (1-5-0) were no match for host BFA-Fairfax.
Cameron Roy scored for Oxbow with the assist going to Bryce Ilsley. Keeper Dakota Goodridge made eight saves.
These two teams will play again on Thursday, this time in Bradford.
THETFORD — Logan Brinkman struck twine in the 52nd minute to provide the Panthers (1-3-3) their only goal in a loss to the Wolves.
Peoples scored twice in each half. Thetford cut into a 3-0 deficit with Brinkman’s goal, set up by Riley Burkins. Jack Hogan had 10 saves in the TA net.
The Panthers visit Lyndon on Friday.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — Colin Vielleux and Cole Jasmin each threw for two touchdowns to lead the surging Hurricanes, winners of seven straight games, over the Colonels.
Jasmin, quarterback with the skill position players for Hartford, racked up 235 yards passing to favorite targets Jacob Dwinnell (six grabs, 118 yards and a touchdown) and Alex Bushway (seven, 69 yards, one TD). Jasmin also topped the 2,000-yard mark in passing for the season.
Vielleux spread the attention around, connecting with Harry Gaudet and Cole Withington for touchdowns. Gaudet had 41 yards on two grabs, and Connor Tierney moved the chains with four catches for 25 yards.
Kobe Peach continues to be reliable in the kicking game, going 4-for-4 on PATs. The Hurricanes (7-1) will look to close the regular season with a win at Middlebury on Friday night.
ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. — Jordan Johnson threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to help the Olympians come within striking distance of pulling out a win at the Hilltoppers.
Johnson connected from 20 yards to Nikk Schwarz early in the fourth. He followed with strikes from 25 and 30 yards, both to Will Ilsley, later in the frame. Dylan Shaw put Oxbow on the board in the second quarter, connecting with Memphis Cahill from nine yards out.
Kody Schwarz led the Oxbow defense with a pair of interceptions. Chase Lund kicked one extra point, and Johnson and Ilsley converted for two points in the fourth.
