Varsity and JV Renew Annual NH-VT Rivalry

A tradition dating back more than 10 years will be renewed on Friday when the combined Varsity and JV teams will be divided on the basis of current residence, squaring off in the annual New Hampshire - Vermont game, kicking off at 4:15 p.m. at the Pasture.

Coaches Grabill and and Wanner will  lead the NH squad, laden with defensive studs from the Varsity in front of goalkeeper Connor Edson.  The VT brain trust, Coaches Osheyack, Walker and Niles, will be pinning their hopes on a studly midfield and a bevy of starting strikers.  The classic offense vs. defense matchup will be spiced up by the chess game between coaches as they manage their heavily-laden benches, full of JV stars eager to prove themselves.

Vermont players should come to the game wearing green, and New Hampshire will wear white.  The winning team will gain possession of the unique etched crystal Simon Pearce trophy, which will be on display Friday at Ford's desk in the Atrium.
