Teams are in their final week of play, and the Vermont Principals’ Association will announce playoff pairings on Monday morning.
COMMODORES
On Saturday the Commodores blanked visiting Green Mountain Valley, 3-0. Emily Rooney scored twice, Sydney Weber notched a goal and an assist, and Hannah Kelly set up Weber’s goal that gave VUHS the early lead. Kate Gosliga made one save to earn the shutout, while Gumby goalie Cassandra Cormier made 16 saves.
One more win for the 8-3-1 Commodores should assure them of a top-four seed in Division III; they host Spaulding on Saturday to close out the season.
