ST. JOHNSBURY — After its second bus ride to St. Johnsbury in two days, on June 1 the No. 11 Vergennes/Mount Abraham girls’ lacrosse team fell to No. 8 St. Johnsbury, 20-10, in a first-round Division II playoff game.
Given the circumstances, Coach Marikate Kelley said the Commodores might not have played their absolute best, but she was proud of their effort.
“The girls never gave up and worked hard right to the end,” she said.
Ashley Turner led the 1-13 Commodores with four goals, an assist and 12 ground balls, Jalen Cook scored three times, Jackie Reiss scored a goal and set up a goal, Leah Croke and Norah Deming chipped in a goal apiece, Chloe Johnston scooped five ground balls, and goalies Sara Pichlmann and Madison Valiquette combined for 10 saves.
