UVM 12Oct2025

We always expect a big challenge from UVM. It was Senior Day, and Homecoming weekend, so we were delighted to see our graduated players Lizzy Strapp ‘25 and Kalyn Dawes ‘25 and Lizzy Hennessey ‘09 with her wife Tam and daughter Oakley ‘45 (?!) in addition to Nicole’s dad and Chloe’s parents - maybe others?

The weather was perfect - starting in the 60sF/15C and feeling warm from direct sunshine. We spoke about keeping the ball moving. 

Both teams showed high energy and intensity. Nicole got is started with an early shot blocked before Genevieve had a shot saved for a corner kick that was taken by Nicole. UVM took two free kicks in our third, the second one leading to a shot saved by Meg.

They had a shot go wide before Meg saved two of their shots. Then in the 17th minute, Nicole sent a pass to Neva, who flicked the ball into the left upper corner of their goal. Right after that, Meg saved two more UVM shots and sent one wide.

Chloe earned a free kick from midfield that was taken by Emeline before Pine saved two UVM shots. Mia J had a shot go wide before she was taken down for Colleen C’s free kick taken from midfield.

In the 29th minute, UVM’s free kick from midfield found the back of our net to even the score before a UVM shot was blocked for a corner. Pine saved their next shot, but the rolled the rebound into the left side of our goal to give them an advantage.

Mia J had a shot go wide before Sage earned a corner kick that was taken by Molly. Then in the last minute of the half, Pine came out to squelch a UVM attack before they sent a shot wide.

During the break, we discussed passing to feet on the ground, using the width of the field, stepping before they do and defending all together.

UVM had a shot go wide before their two free kicks from midfield - one resulting in a shot that went wide. They got a corner kick before sending a shot from the left side of the field into the upper right part of our net in the 46th minute.

Nicole and Neva had shots go wide before Maddie had hers saved. Kya earned a free kick in our third that was taken by Neva, whose shot was saved.

After UVM’s free kick from midfield, Genevieve and Mia J had shots saved and Mia J had one go over their crossbar. In the 72nd minute Sage almost scored when her diving header went just wide. 

Mia J had a shot saved before UVM sent a shot wide and Carly saved one of their shots. Mia J had another chance to score in the last minute of the game, but her shot was saved.

It mostly felt like a pretty even game. They were ecstatic while we organized to celebrate our seniors with wonderful heart-felt presentations.
