MVU's Field Hockey Thunderbirds made their 2nd consecutive trip to the Championship Game in 2011, and I got freelance access to shoot the game. MVU faced Stowe, whom they had defeated 2-1 in the regular season. The evenly matched teams played a beautiful game on a beautiful day. Camille put MVU up 1-0 with a first half laser beam. Vallary made it 2-0 MVU off a Camille assist. Stowe came back to make it 2-1, but MVU refused to lose on their way to a State Championship!! Dakota, Molly, and Kellie each played aggressive games, helping MVU control the action - while Nicole was solid in goal. Thunderbird Coach Jeanne Rainville and I had a pleasant pre-game chat where she said they would not come leave empty-handed again, and she was right. Missisquoi finishes 14-1-2; Stowe finishes 12-3-2. Congrats to MVU, Vermont's DIII 2011 State Champions!!
