   The Vergennes girls had a great week of play-off soccer this past week. On Monday they played U-32 in awesome game. The first half was tough for both teams, as the goalies were both amazing. But, with three minutes left in the half, Commodore junior Abby Benton nailed the ball into the top corner of the net, just outside of the grasp of U-32's goalie. Five minutes into the second half, Benton scored again, making the score 2-0, Vergennes. Twenty minutes later, senior Elizabeth Goyette made it a solid three goals for the Commodores. The final score of the game was 3-0, Vergennes.

   On Thursday, Vergennes played Milton in another tough, well played game. With thirteen minutes left in the first half, Abby Benton scored. The Milton goalie almost had the ball, but fumbled it a bit and it just got past her. But, Milton was not done quite yet. Just as Commodore fans were getting confident, Milton scored with 25 minutes left in the game. Benton once again pulled through for her team and scored the winning goal with 10 minutes remaining. The final score was 2-1, Commodores. Both games were great to watch, and all the fans should be commended as well for sitting in the bitter cold and cheering on their girls.
