NORTH CLARENDON, Vt. - Rivendell girls soccer scored twice but saw its season end Tuesday afternoon with a 2-4 loss at sixth-seeded Mill River in the first round of the playoffs.
Bella St. Pierre scored twice for the Minutemen, and her sister Gracie St. Pierre and Cameron Behrendt added goals. It was Mill River’s first playoff win in girls soccer since 2016.
The 11th-seeded Raptors finish 4-11, while Mill River improves to 7-6-2. Rivendell won two of its last four games, 5-0 at Sharon on Oct. 3 and 6-0 at home against White River Valley on Oct. 7, and its other wins came against Woodstock and Blue Mountain.
Coach Jason Knowles knew this would be a building year. “We graduated nine of our 16 players from last season, so this year will be very much about rebuilding and development,” he said before the season.
