MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School girls’ hockey team wrapped up its regular season on Monday night by topping visiting Northfield, 6-1.
The Tigers will enter the playoffs with a 14-3-2 record that includes a 12-1-1 mark in their past 14 games after a 2-2-1 start.
The Vermont Principals’ Association was set to announce pairings on Thursday morning. Only league games will count toward playoff seeds, and those standings are unpublished.
It appeared the Tigers had earned the No. 2 seed behind No. 1 Essex after defeating BFA-St. Albans on Saturday, but nothing was certain earlier this week, according to the team’s coaches. The Tigers will probably host a first-round game this weekend, a quarterfinal early next week, and then, assuming positive results in those games, also host a semifinal next weekend.
Against Northfield (8-11) on Monday, four Tigers had multi-point games. Andi Boe led the way with two goals and an assist, Lauren Bartlett netted a pair of goals, Monroe Cromis scored once and assisted two goals, and Julia Carone racked up three assists.
Tiger goalie Katie Billings backstopped the win with 14 saves. Analiese Morvan made 16 saves for the Marauders and Kyra White scored.
