Vermont said the Pioneers played very well against the Vikings.

“I was very happy with the way the team played,” said Vermont. “We came out strong and moved the ball well.”

“Victoria is new to the varsity team as our starting goalie,” said Vermont. “It was a big game, and Victoria stayed composed and played a great game.”

Vermont said the Pioneers played very well against Newburyport.

“It was a great game,” said Vermont. “Newburyport was ready to play, and it was a great back-and-forth game. We did a good job possessing the ball, but we just needed an extra pass here and there.”
