For most of the game, the Wasps, who advanced to play Springfield (10-4-1) in Saturday’s final at the University of Vermont, were first to the ball and linked up with each other better than the Otters, who also, unlike the Wasps, often struggled to stay on their feet on the slick surface.

Local teams set for D-II state races next By ANDY KIRKALDY SWANTON — The Middlebury Union High School boys’ crosscountry team edged Milton for the NVAC Small School championship on Saturday on Missisquoi’s home course, while the Tiger and Vergennes girls’ teams ran 2-3 in the Small School girls’ race behind Rice. The Tiger boys scored 45 points to nip Milton by three points, followed by Rice (69), Spaulding (83), Fairfax (127), VUHS (150) and Mount Abraham (164). Runners from Missisquoi, Richford and Enosburg competed as individuals because their schools could not field full teams of five competitors. Tiger runners Ross Crown and Henry Ganey finished second and fifth, respectively, to spark their team’s victory. Wade Mullin (eighth) cracked the top 10 for VUHS, while Jude Bunch (20th) led Mount Abe. The Rice girls earned a commanding win in the small-school race with 32 points. The Tigers were next at 60, followed by VUHS (87), Missisquoi (88), Fairfax (102) and Spaulding (157). Mount Abe, Milton, Richford and Enosburg did not field full teams. Kate Oster finished fifth to lead MUHS, while Sadie Kass was 11th to pace the Commodores. Two Eagle runners competed: Delaynah Leavitt was 16th in 22:52.9, and Ally Hoff (See NVAC, Page 2B)

Trinity tops Panthers in football showdown Bantams deal Middlebury its first loss HARTFORD, Conn. — Host Trinity coasted to a 49-13 victory over the Middlebury College football team on Saturday in a battle for first place in NESCAC waged by league’s only two unbeaten teams. The 6-0 Bantams entered the game ranked third in NCAA Division III in New England, while the Panthers (5-1) had held the fourth spot. Middlebury returns to action this Saturday at Hamilton at 1 p.m. The Panthers can still earn first place in the league by defeating Hamilton and then visiting Tufts on Nov. 12 if Trinity stumbles against either 3-3 Amherst or 5-1 Wesleyan in its remaining games. On this past Saturday, Trinity scored four times after seven Panther turnovers, and the Bantams held a 335-235 edge in total yards. Trinity also held the Panthers’ potent passing attack to 126 yards, 208 below its season average. Trinity’s gained 224 yards on the ground with five rushing touchdowns. Trinity scored its first touchdown after gaining great field position at the Panther 34. Max Chipouras took the first handoff and found the end zone for a 7-0 lead. The Bantams scored again late in the quarter when quarterback Sonny Puzzo found Bryan Vieria for a 46yard touchdown. Middlebury linebacker John Jackson intercepted a pass midway through the second quarter, but the Bantams intercepted Panther QB Jared Lebowitz on the next play. Soon afterward. Puzzo hit Vieira from 11

yards out for a 21-0 lead with 4:49 left in the second quarter. The Panthers fumbled on their next possession and then allowed a 25-yard Chipouras rushing touchdown at the 2:35 mark to make it 28-0 at halftime. Middlebury scored on its first possession of the second half, driving 63 yards on 13 plays. Lebowitz found James Burke three times on the drive, including a 14-yard touchdown pass with 9:43 on the clock. Following a Trinity punt, Bantam P.J. Dorsey returned an interception 38 yards to set up a 16-yard Puzzo rushing TD and a 35-7 lead. Chipouras added a 62-yard run to make it 42-13 later in the quarter. The Panthers answered with an eight-play, 80-yard drive to make it 42-13. Lebowitz found Conrado Banky for a 42-yard catch before Diego Meritus scored from two yards out. Trinity added a fourth-quarter touchdown to make it a 49-13 final. Lebowitz completed 12 of 38 passes for 126 yards; he tossed three interceptions and was sacked five times. Meritus rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, while Drew Jacobs finished with 64 yards on the ground in 15 attempts. Burke caught four passes for 40 yards and a touchdown, while Banky finished with four receptions for 57 yards.

The Wasps nearly added to the lead on the next two corners, but McDonough racked up two more saves on the next one, and OV center back Meghan Hallett took charge and carried the ball out of harm’s way on the last corner in the series. OV played with urgency after that score, but still couldn’t generate good looks on Henne. Lowell shot wide with 16 minutes left under pressure after one long run. Another Lowell run five minutes later triggered a scramble, but the Otters couldn’t line up a shot. Woodstock then regained control and territory, earning three corners and bottling up OV as the time ran out on the Otters’ season and on the careers of eight seniors who helped the program win the 2015 title: Kaitlyn Anderson, Sophia Bloomer, Courtney Bushey, Alyssa Falco, Meghan Hallett, Allison Lowell, Myliah McDonough and Courtney Randall. “It’s hard that we’re losing eight,” Edmunds-Brickell said. “They were really banking on getting to the end this time around. But, hey we’ll rebuild next year and go for it again. We’ve produced some great field hockey players at Otter Valley.”

(Continued from Page 1B) together,” Kim said. “As the saying goes, the hay is in the barn. Now we just have to perform.” Against Bowdoin (9-6-1), senior midfielder Katherine Hobbs gave Middlebury the lead in the fifth minute. Hobbs carried at goal, touched the ball away from a defender trying to cut her off, and fired the ball into the left side of the net. Most of the half proved to be a defensive battle at midfield, with each team working hard to disrupt the other’s buildup. Bowdoin had a chance on a corner kick from the right side in the 24th minute, but middie Emily Pawlak bodied the ball wide of the near post. Panther senior striker Adrianna Gildner had the best first-half chance to extend the lead. Middie Sara DiCenso sent her into the right side of the box with some space to maneuver, but Gildner’s 18-yard shot sailed wide of the near post. The Panthers dictated play more consistently in the second half. After a Panther edge of 5-4 in shots at goal and two corner kicks apiece in the first half, the Panthers earned advantages of 7-3 in shots and 2-0 in corners in the final 45 minutes. Kim said it took time for the Panthers to settle into their possession game against the Polar Bears. “We knew that Bowdoin was going to be a disruptive team. They were the second-best defensive team in the conference,” Kim said. “So we had to be prepared to win the physical battles first. So when we started doing that and started moving the ball like we like to, then I think it was more our game.” Kim added the Panthers also took advantage of Bowdoin’s second-half decision to take a player out of midfield to reinforce the front line. “It left them a little exposed. They needed a goal, and I think that was just the cue we needed,” he said. “We trained against both their systems, so we knew how to respond.”

Early on after the break, Bowdoin keeper Rachel Stout saved a header from Panther center back Alissa Huntington, who had stepped into the attack. In the seventh minute, a 25-yard Gildner drive from the left side sailed just over the crossbar. Then on the first Bowdoin rush of the half, Polar Bear Morgen Gallagher drew a foul as she made a strong move inside the top of the Panther box. With 36:37 on the clock, Nikki Wilson ripped the penalty kick into the left side of the net, giving Panther freshman goalie Ursula Alwang no chance. The Panthers simply kept pressing and regained the lead 1:31 later, courtesy of senior middie Amy Martin. DiCenso played the ball down the middle toward Martin. A defender got a piece of the ball, but not enough to stop it from deflecting into Martin’s path as she broke into the Bowdoin box. Stout came out to cut down the angle, but as she neared the penalty stripe Martin knocked the ball past her into the left side of net. Middlebury kept pressing, with Hobbes, Gildner, Martin and middie Amanda Hotvedt creating the best chances. With 18 minutes to go, Hobbs broke into the box, but Stout smothered her low left-footed shot. Shortly afterward, Martin set up Gildner from 12 yards out, but her bullet

found Stout. Bowdoin’s best chance came with about 15 minutes left. Alwang came out to break up a run by Polar Bear Kate Rusk-Kosa, but the ball bounced away. Bowdoin’s Talia Missan was there to pick it up and try to shoot on the vacated goal, but Huntington blocked her bid. That effort was part of a solid day for the Panther back line of Huntington, Amanda Haik, Janie DeVito and Alex Barber against a quick Bowdoin team that tried to break them down with long serves into the box. The Panthers have allowed only 0.74 goals per game this fall. “One chance is all it takes, but they held together,” Kim said. The coach also praised his midfielders and forwards for defending the Polar Bears, particularly for re-defended after losing the ball. “This a transition conference,” Kim said. “So you have to organize defensively as soon as you lose the ball or they’re going to pick you apart.” And he cited his seniors for setting the tone. “I think it was a big performance by the entire team, and key goals at the right time from your senior leadership,” Kim said. “Hobbes and Adrianna and Amy, they just rose to the next level.”

Moose season success rate reported as down

ST. JOHNSBURY — The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department says a preliminary count reveals hunters took 73 moose in this year’s regulated hunting seasons. “A preliminary count on Oct. 24 showed that hunters had reported nine moose being taken by 27 hunters in the Oct. 1-7 archery season and 64 moose taken by 141 hunters in the Oct. 15-20 regular season,” said Cedric Alexander, Vermont’s moose project leader. He said a few additional reports may still be sent in from other reporting agents. Permits were issued for bullsonly in most of the 16 Wildlife

Late goal sparks Panther men WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Middlebury College’s Kirk Horton knocked in a Tim Ogle corner kick as time expired in double overtime during Saturday’s NESCAC men’s soccer quarterfinal at Williams College, giving the No. 6 Panthers a dramatic victory over the No. 3 Ephs. Next up for the Panthers (10-3-3, 5-3-3 NESCAC) is the NESCAC final four this weekend at top-seeded Amherst. Middlebury will face fourth-seeded Hamilton (9-6-1, 6-4-1 NESCAC) on Saturday, while Amherst (14-1-1, 9-1-1) faces No. 7 Bowdoin (9-3-4, 6-3-3). The winners will meet on Sunday at noon for the NESCAC title. A final flurry for Middlebury re-

sulted in the match’s only goal. A long throw-in by Tim Ogle from the left side was knocked over the end line by an Eph defender, resulting in a Panther corner kick, again from the left side. With time winding down, Daniel O’Grady served the corner kick directly into the crease, and it skipped to the far post, where Horton, from a few feet out, headed the ball in off a defender to trigger a jubilant Panther celebration. It was his fifth tally of the season and officially came three seconds before the teams would have gone to penalty kicks to decide the winner. Early on, both defenses excelled, as the teams had one shot on goal

apiece in the first half. Action picked up late in regulation, when the Panther defense blocked a bid by Eph Mohammed Rashid and then Panther goalie Greg Sydor corralled Scott Macdonald’s long, hard shot from just outside of the penalty area. Middlebury had a quality chance in the first overtime when Drew Goulart settled a pass from O’Grady, but his shot was blocked. Sydor finished with a season-high eight saves for his eighth shutout of the season. Christian Alcorn had three stops for Williams. The Panthers held an 13-11 edge in shots, but the Ephs (9-4-3, 6-4-1) earned a 12-4 advantage in corner kicks.

Quirk inserted the ball to Jennings, who stopped it to allow Schweppe rifle a shot home from just inside the arc. The tally was Schweppe’s 11th of the season. The Polar Bears pressed in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Their best scoring chance came in the 41st minute, when Middlebury goalie Emily Miller twice denied Kimmy Ganong on the doorstep after she had carried the ball in from the right side. Bowdoin also had a goal disallowed in the 55th minute on its first penalty corner. A shot from just outside the arc was tipped home and the goal was briefly put up on the scoreboard, but officials ruled it hit a defender’s stick. Middlebury finished with a 7-6 advantage in shots and both teams finished with two penalty corners. Miller made four saves for her sixth shutout of the season and 14th of her career, while Draper made three stops for Bowdoin. Saturday’s game marked was the sixth straight year the two teams have meet in the NESCAC tournament, with the five prior meetings in the title game. Bowdoin won the league title a year ago, but the Panthers defeated the Polar Bears in the NCAA Division III championship game.

MIDDLEBURY — The annual men’s three-on-three basketball tournament co-sponsored by the Middlebury Mayhem AAU team and the Middlebury Parks and Recreation Department has been scheduled for Nov. 26 in the Middlebury recreation center on Creek Road.

The entry fee for a team of four is $75. Organizers said the proceeds go toward scholarships for AAU players who could not otherwise afford the program and to many other items, such as in the past basketball equipment for town parks, Middlebury Union Middle School, sneakers for

athletes in need, and to non-basketball efforts such as local food shelves and Christmas gifts for families in need. More information is available from Dustin Hunt at the recreation department at 388-8100, extension 216, or Randy Stockwell at lakers32vt@yahoo.com.

Start of rifle deer season set for Nov. 12 MONTPELIER — Hunters are gearing up for the start of Vermont’s statewide traditionally popular 16day rifle deer season that begins Saturday, Nov. 12 and ends Sunday, Nov. 27. A hunter may take one buck during this season with at least one antler having two or more points. A point must be one inch or longer from base to tip. The main beam counts as a point, regardless of length. Spikeantlered deer, mostly yearlings, are protected during this season. “Vermont’s pre-hunt deer population is estimated at approximately 145,000 this year with the greatest numbers of deer found in the northwest, southwest and east-central regions of the state,” said Deer Project Leader Nick Fortin. Vermont’s regular hunting licenses, including a November rifle season buck tag and a late season bear tag (for Nov. 12-20), cost only $26 for residents and $100 for nonresidents. Hunters under 18 years of age get a break at $8 for residents and $25 for nonresidents. Licenses are available on Fish & Wildlife’s website and from license agents statewide. Fish & Wildlife urges hunters to wear a fluorescent orange hat and

vest to help maintain Vermont’s very good hunting season safety record. A 2016 Vermont Deer Hunting Guide can be downloaded from the department’s website at www. vtfishandwildlife.com. The guide includes a map of the Wildlife Management Units (WMUs), season dates, regulations and other helpful information. The 2016 Hunting, Fishing & Trapping Laws and Guide is available where licenses are sold and on

877-2712
