By JAMES BARRETT [email protected]

LITTLETON— At the end of the 2012 season the Littleton Lady Crusaders were on top of the Division four standing as State Champs. Now in the 2013 season, they are set to defend that title against all challengers. The Crusaders proved that in their opening game that was played in Groveton on September 4th. The Crusaders jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first half with Maya Northrop, Allison Mackay, two from Alli Horne, Maggie Hadlock, and Emma Bogardus. Clearly dominating, the Crusaders Head Coach, Kory Pinard gave his younger players the opportunity to gain some experience in the remainder of the game. In the second half of the game the Crusaders continued to control the entire game netting two more goals off the feet of Mercedes Negron and Cierra Favreau to win the game 8-0. The 8-0 win over the Eagles comes as a clear message to the rest of the division that they Crusaders JAMES BARRETT/THE COURIER “Littleton gathers before a game in Groveton as they look to defend their 2012 championship.” are still in the hunt and are still a clear front-run- ner. With a strong returning group of seniors, the Crusaders are poised for a repeat championship. The returning senior to the offense is Maggie Hadlock. Hadlock was a key contributor last season and earned an All-State Honorable Mention last season. She will look to lead the team offensively in the 2013 season. Returning seniors to the midfield positions are Hannah Lavoie, Allison Mackay, and Mercedes Negron. These three return- ees will solidify a strong ball-moving midfield that will most definitely contribute on both offense and defense. Returning seniors to a very strong defensive unit are Brittany Favreau, Olivia Paradice, and Chloe Pilgrim. On a team that has few flaws and a strong focus on team play, this defense will be the anchor in difficult games this season. They will also be playing in front of a solid underclassmen goalkeeper, Jordan Odell. Odell had a solid 2012 in goal and will look to continue helping out her Crusaders repeat as champs in 2013. Coach Pinard hammered home his coaching philoso- phy from his twelve years as Littleton’s head coach in an interview saying, “There is always players that stand out and score goals, but it takes the entire team behind them and on the JAMES BARRETT/THE COURIER bench to win games.” “Alli Horne gallops back to center field after scoring her second goal The Lady Crusaders will of the game against Groveton.” take to the pitch for their For All Your Landscaping Needs second game of the sea- they will play host to the match is scheduled to start PRESBY son on September 11 when Colebrook Mohawks.

WOODSVILLE— The Woodsville Engineers ladies soccer team jumped ahead right out of the gate in the first week of the regular season on the back an offense that has controlled all three of their games so far. In Woodsville’s opening game on August 30th, the Engineers took to the road to play the Groveton Eagles. Woodsville, with something to prove opened the game up and left no chance for Groveton to rebound as they blasted forty shots on goal while scoring whopping ten goals en route to a dominant 10-2 victory to open the season.

LISBON— The Lisbon Panthers welcomed Pittsburg-Canaan to town with open arms and a healthy dose of offense as they earned their first win of the season on September 6th. The Panthers opened up the action by playing some great midfield ball and owning the action for the greater part of the game. In the first half the Panthers jumped out to an early lead and kept that lead as they earned much needed win. Opening the scoring in the game was Senior Bryton Fontaine who netted his first of the season just three minutes into the game. From that point on the floodgates were open on the Pittsburg goal. At the end of the first half the Panthers distanced themselves from Pittsburg- Cannan with the score of 5-0. That lead gave Panther Head Coach, Les Poore the ability to put in some of his young, less experienced players. Despite the younger players being put into the game in the second have, the Panthers continued right where they had left off. Brice Fontaine netted two of the three goals that were tallied for the Panthers in the second half en route to their 8-1 victory.
