Catching up with Girls Soccer

It's been a while since the Thetford game...Let's start with the most recent and work backwards...

St. J was down on Saturday for another Capital Division game. 30 seconds into the game there was handball in the St. J box and Stacy T. buried the PK in the back of the net for the first goal of the game. Less than fifteen minutes later, Katie S. put a great move on a Hilltopper defender and as she was going to goal, the defender tripped her in the box for another PK. Stacy T. buried another to put the girls ahead 2-0. The second half saw the Hilltoppers come on strong, but they only managed one goal Peoples came away with another win. They are now 4-1-2 and 4th in the D.III standings. They play at U-32 on Wednesday.

Before the St. J. game the girls faced tough Capital Division foe Montpelier. The game was an even match and ended that way as well 1-1. Alysha J. got her first goal of the season.


Prior to those two Capital Division matches was homecoming and the cross town rivalry of the Lamoille Lady Lancers...If you missed this game, you missed a great game. Lamoille scored first about 15 minutes into the game. PA struggled to put together solid play, but as the first half wore on they looked stronger and stronger. Finally, with about 2 minutes left, a Stacy T. corner kick was headed home by freshman Michelle Y. for the tying goal. The second half saw Peoples take their first lead of the game on a lefty shot that barely escaped the hands of the Lamoille keeper by another freshman, Hannah M.

Lamoille turned around and about 15 minutes later tied it up.
Less than 2 minutes after the Lamoille goal freshman Katie S. picked up a ball at midfield, beat two Lamoille defenders and was in on the Lamoille keeper. Katie shot it low and hard in the left corner for the winning goal.

The girls went down to Northfield on Sept. 16 and notched a 2-0 shutout. The last game of their rigorous 4 game road trip--they played their first 4 games on the road this year--was at Harwood. Harwood is always tough and this year proved to be no different as they handed the Ladies their first and only loss of the season 2-1.
