MIDDLEBURY — The defending Division I champion Middlebury Union High School girls’ lacrosse team finished the regular season at 11-3 and enters the playoffs with the No. 3 seed.
The Tigers will open the postseason by hosting a quarterfinal on Saturday at 11 a.m. against either No. 8 St. Albans (6-7) or No. 9 Mount Mansfield (6-8), who were set to meet on Wednesday afternoon. The Tigers defeated both teams this spring. No. 2 Brattleboro (13-3), a team the Tigers did not play this spring, is their likely road opponent in a semifinal next Wednesday. The final will be played the following weekend at a time to be announced at the University of Vermont.
MUHS nailed down the No. 3 seed this past Friday with an 18-7 win over visiting Rice (7-8). Isabel Rosenberg led the attack with six goals and an assist, and Ella Nagy-Benson scored four times and set up two goals.   
Emily Laframboise, Ada Anderson and Satchel McLaughlin added two goals, and goalie Raven Payne made seven saves.
