SALEM, N.H. - Lebanon boys soccer took defending champion Campbell all the way to the end on Monday. It took a penalty-kick shootout to separate them, and that is where Campbell goalkeeper Adam Correau came up big.

Correau blanked the Raiders in the shootout, and No. 2 Campbell won it 3-0 to advance to the final. The semifinal at Salem High School goes in the books as a 2-1 Campbell win, and it ends the season for third-seeded Lebanon.

It is the second time in three years that Campbell has ended Lebanon’s season in the semifinals, and the Cougars have made a habit of winning this way. They also won their semifinal on penalty kicks last fall, then beat ConVal on penalty kicks in the final after 110 minutes of scoreless soccer to win the title.

Monday’s result was no surprise in one way: these two teams have been hard to separate all fall. They played to a 0-0 draw in Lebanon on Sept. 23, when goalkeeper Bently Lang made three saves for the Raiders and Campbell’s goalkeeper made a big second-half save to rob Jesse Madory. After that game, coach Rob Johnstone called Campbell “a dangerous, quality team.” “We got better and better as the game progressed, not only creating danger but remaining wary of Campbell’s quick-strike capabilities,” he said that day.

Lebanon got to Salem the hard way. In Friday’s quarterfinal at home, the Raiders trailed Pembroke 1-0 late in the second half before Madory tied it with a rocket in the 74th minute. Caelan Boynton then finished a cross from Tucker Green early in the first overtime period for a 2-1 win. “Pembroke clogged things up, took the lead on a restart, and pushed us to the brink. Two great goals and incredible heart and fight pushed us through,” Johnstone said after that game.

That win was Lebanon’s fifth straight, and Monday’s loss ends the streak. The run included a 5-3 win over Milford on Oct. 13 and a 3-1 win over Hollis Brookline on Oct. 16. Madory and Boynton were at the center of the attack all fall. Both scored in the first 13 minutes of a 5-0 win over Kennett in September, and the season started with a 1-0 win at Pembroke on Sept. 4, when Austin Engert scored in the 45th minute.

Lebanon finishes with 11 wins, four more than last year’s 7-5-4 team, whose season ended in the quarterfinals. This group went one round further and came within a shootout of playing for the title.

Campbell (13-2-3) will meet top-seeded ConVal (14-2-2) in the final on Friday, November 6, at 7:15 p.m. at Exeter High School, a rematch of last year’s championship game. Campbell and ConVal played to a 3-3 draw on Sept. 21.

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Jill Campbell has spent her first high school season at the front of the pack. On Saturday, the Lebanon freshman finished the job, winning the girls individual title at the division cross country championships at Derryfield Park.

Campbell covered the 5-kilometer course in 18:28.9 and won by a wide margin. Hanover senior Aria Deeb was second in 19:17.5, more than 48 seconds back.

It was the latest win in a breakout fall. Campbell won the small-school race on the same Derryfield Park course at the Manchester Invitational in September, finishing in 18:36, more than 50 seconds ahead of the runner-up, and led Lebanon to the team title. She won the Woods Trail Run at Thetford Academy in early October and took first at the league championship meet in Norwich, Vt., in 18:53.6.

Lebanon coach Kevin Lozeau saw this coming. He said in September that the Raiders knew the talent in the incoming freshman class after Lebanon won the middle school state championship last fall. “We saw this on the horizon, but I am really impressed at how well they have transitioned to the 5K right off the bat,” Lozeau said.

Freshmen filled four of Lebanon’s top six spots as the Raiders girls placed third as a team on Saturday with 76 points, behind Hanover (32) and Oyster River (59). Freshman Carolyn Campbell was 11th in 20:41.1, senior Ollie Hanna was 17th, freshman Victoria Pomeroy was 19th and senior Maeve Finnegan was 30th, with freshman Raeka Mikecz 31st.

On the boys side, Lebanon placed fifth of 15 teams with 155 points. Junior Brent Paige led the Raiders in 27th in 18:23.7, with senior Alistair Smith (28th), junior Ian Kiefer (30th), sophomore Curran Pool (32nd) and senior Koen Christie (38th) close behind. Andrew Campbell (43rd) and Axel Ericson (48th) also ran.

Lebanon’s girls are next at the Meet of Champions on Saturday, November 7, at Hopkinton State Fairgrounds, at 2:30 p.m.

LEBANON, N.H. - Lebanon boys soccer was running out of time on Friday afternoon. Trailing Pembroke 1-0 late in the second half of the quarterfinals, the Raiders needed a moment. Jesse Madory gave them one in the 74th minute, and Caelan Boynton finished the job in overtime.

Boynton converted a cross from Tucker Green early in the first overtime period to give Lebanon a 2-1 win at home and send the Raiders into the semifinals.

It was a grind from the opening whistle. The teams were scoreless at halftime, and Pembroke broke through first in the second half, taking the lead on a restart. Madory answered with a rocket in the 74th minute to tie it 1-1 and force overtime, and the extra time did not last long. Boynton finished with a goal and an assist, and Green set up the winner.

Coach Rob Johnstone said his team had to dig deep. “Pembroke clogged things up, took the lead on a restart, and pushed us to the brink. Two great goals and incredible heart and fight pushed us through,” Johnstone said.

Madory and Boynton have been at the center of Lebanon’s attack all fall. Both scored in the first 13 minutes of a 5-0 win over Kennett in September, with Boynton adding a second goal and Green also scoring, and Madory scored again in the regular-season finale against John Stark.

The win was Lebanon’s fifth straight, and the Raiders are unbeaten in seven games (6-0-1). They improve to 11-3-2, four more wins than last year’s 7-5-4 team, whose season ended in the quarterfinals. This group is now one round further.

Pembroke was a familiar opponent. Lebanon opened the season with a 1-0 win at Pembroke on Sept. 4, when Austin Engert stepped in front of a pass from the Pembroke goalkeeper and scored in the 45th minute. A year ago, Pembroke beat the Raiders 3-0 in the regular season and reached the quarterfinals. Pembroke, which beat Kennett 3-1 in Tuesday’s opening round, finishes 8-4-6.

Next up is a semifinal at Campbell. The two teams played to a 0-0 draw in Lebanon on Sept. 23, and Campbell shut out Hollis Brookline 3-0 in its own quarterfinal on Friday. The other semifinal pairs ConVal and Bow, two teams that beat Lebanon by a combined 3-0 this fall.

Scoring by period (first half, second half, overtime): Pembroke 0, 1, 0 - 1; Lebanon 0, 1, 1 - 2.

Lebanon at Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough | Friday, October 30

Lebanon football gave one of the best teams in its division all it could handle for a half on Friday night. The Raiders trailed Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough just 7-6 at halftime on the road before the hosts pulled away for a 28-6 win in the regular-season finale.

Oden Manganie was in the middle of Lebanon’s best moments, catching the Raiders’ touchdown pass on offense and coming up with an interception on defense.

Coach Kyle Colburn liked what he saw from a short-handed group. “Proud of the boys; they played well, banged up, and a lot of young players stepped up and gave us everything they had. We came out prepared,” Colburn said.

Lebanon closes its regular season at 2-6. The Raiders’ wins came in back-to-back weeks in October, a 54-0 rout of Bishop Brady-Hopkinton on Oct. 3 and a 16-6 win at Sanborn. Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough improves to 7-1.

LEBANON, N.H. - Lebanon boys soccer is heading into the tournament on a roll. The Raiders beat John Stark 2-0 at home Friday in their regular-season finale for their fourth straight win.

Lebanon finishes the regular season 10-3-2, already three more wins than last year’s 7-5-4 team that reached the quarterfinals. The Raiders are unbeaten in their last six games (5-0-1) and have not lost since a 0-2 home loss to Bow on Oct. 2.

Defense has been the backbone. Friday was Lebanon’s eighth clean sheet of the fall, and goalie Bently Lang came into the game with seven shutouts. The Raiders have allowed 13 goals in 15 games while scoring 33.

The win capped a strong week. On Tuesday, Lucas Plummer and Liam Sullivan scored twice each in a 5-0 win at Coe-Brown, and Sullivan’s second goal came with 12 seconds left in the first half. Coach Rob Johnstone said afterward, “Coe-Brown entered having beaten top-ranked ConVal and tied top-4 Bow in its last three games, and also needed a win to stay in playoff contention, so a great result for us.”

John Stark drops to 6-7-3. The Raiders now wait to learn their tournament seeding.

Lebanon at Hanover | Friday, October 23

Hanover, which also beat Lebanon 8-0 on Sept. 1, completed the season sweep and moves on to face Bow in the semifinals.

Lebanon finishes 10-8, a big jump from last season’s 4-12 team that missed the playoffs. The Raiders posted seven shutout wins and beat St. Thomas 3-2 on Oct. 6. St. Thomas reached the semifinals Friday.
