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.

QUECHEE The third-ranked Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team quickly put to rest any upset concerns, opening Tuesday night with an 18-3 run en route to a 69-22 victory over 14th-seeded Richford to open the VPA Division IV playoffs.
Sydney Goodwin led the MVCS attack with 26 points, including 12 from the free-throw line. Rachel Horner-Richardson and Hayley Goodwin each had 18 points. The Eagles (8-2) built a 33-12 lead at halftime and scored 20 points in the third quarter to put the game on ice.
“We got off to a quick start and were able to take control early. We have typically started slow in past playoff games, so I was happy with our focus and effort tonight,” MVCS coach Chris Goodwin said.
Local roundup: Perreault, WRV nearly surprise Proctor

PROCTOR, Vt. If anyone is going to keep the Proctor High girls basketball team from winning the VPA Division IV state title later this month, they’ll have to find a way to shut down the Phantoms’ Maggie McKearin first.
White River Valley did just that on Thursday night, although it wasn’t quite enough to avoid a 44-35 defeat. The Wildcats’ Ella Perreault drew the assignment of silencing McKearin, a double-digit scorer on most nights but owner of just six points thanks to the close defensive attention.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats (2-4), Proctor is more than a one-player team. Isabel Greb made up for McKearin’s relative silence with 15 points, Hope Kelley added seven and the Phantoms’ defense limited WRV to just 13 second-half points.
