Tigers and Mounties Always Exciting
By Mike Cameron
   The two teams have squared off many times in the past and very seldom has it not been a terrific ball game.
   Last year the Mounties visited Doc Collins Field and hung a tough loss on the Tigers by shutting down their  offense and taking advantage of several  Middlebury mistakes.
   The new season is 3-games old and the Tigers are playing much better than they were a year ago even with a young ball club.  On Saturday afternoon September 23rd the two teams put their proud sports traditions on the line at historic Saint Peters Field.  The last time a Tiger team won at St. Peters they defeated Hartford High for the Division 1 Championship by a field goal, 3-0.  Tigers fans were hoping for another such win in this one and would gladly settle for the same score against M.S.J.

Vergennes Commodores
By Alexandra Larrow
    The Vergennes Commodores had a long week of soccer this past week. It began on Saturday, with the two Homecoming games. The girls started off the day against the Mount Abraham Eagles. In less than ten minutes, Commodore junior Abby Benton scored, bringing Vergennes to the lead.
    With eighteen minutes in the half, Vergennes pulled together and really worked as a team, aiding Benton in the second goal of the game. The score at the end of the half was 2-0, Commodores. In the second half, Mount Abraham started off strong, scoring on Vergennes‚ sophomore goalie Meghan Scott-Tisbert. This was the first goal scored on Scott-Tisbert this season. A minute later, the Commodores retaliated, and junior Abby Benton made a great attempt to score, but bounced it off the top bar. A mere three minutes later Benton came back and scored for Vergennes.  [ more ]
