The win is the second this week for the Raiders (9-3) over Kearsarge following an 11-10 win in Lebanon on Tuesday. Catherine Cole led a balanced effort for the Raiders with three goals and an assist.
“Overall, it was a great team effort. It’s a lot to play two tough games in three days against the same team,” Lebanon coach Sara Ecker said. “The girls came out focused and read to play today, having made some adjustments at practice yesterday.”

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. — Zoey Pfeiffer added to her own record book with seven goals and one assist to lead the Hartford High girls lacrosse team to an 18-7 victory at St. Johnsbury on Tuesday afternoon.
The eight points make Pfeiffer, a senior, the all-time leading scorer in Hurricanes program history. Hartford improved to 2-0 with the win and was led by strong performances on both ends of the field, according to coach Heather Hartford.
“St. Johnsbury took the early lead, but the girls battled right back with overall great team play. The defense communicated well, the offense was very fluent and both goalies represented the team well,” Hartford said.
