STRATTON MOUNTAIN, Vt. The Hartford High girls lacrosse team appears intent on standing atop VPA Division II until someone finds the temerity to knock them off.
The Hurricanes bounced back from their first loss of the season over the weekend by dominating Stratton Mountain to the tune of an 18-4 defeat on Monday. Hartford (13-1) used a pair of quick first-half bursts to take control, riding six-goal performances from Adi Cadwell and Zoe Pfeiffer to victory.
Cadwell, Caroline Hamilton (four goals) and Pfeiffer scored within the game’s first three minutes to get Hartford started. The Canes took control for good with four goals in less than two minutes from Chloe Jensen, Pfeiffer and twice from Cadwell late in the half and cruised from there.

NEWPORT The Newport High softball team used a seven-run second inning and an eight-run fourth to pull away for an 18-5 win over Hanover on Wednesday, bumping the Tigers’ record to 7-1 on the season.
Newport overturned an early Hanover score with a two-run first, then took over with 12 hits. Winning pitcher Tanya Sanchez (five strikeouts, one walk, two HBP) helped herself with a walk, single, double, triple, three RBIs and four runs scored.
“I actually feel pretty good,” Newport coach Sam McNeel said. “Tanya’s doing extremely well on the mound for us. We’ve got a good catcher (Emmah O’Connor) behind the plate. . I think we can play with just about anybody.”

KEENE, N.H. It took almost two full years, but the Hanover High boys tennis team finally returned to action in a season-opening 9-0 shutout at Keene on Monday afternoon.
Kevin Pillsbury won, 8-0, at No. 3 singles for Hanover. Evan Yang, Alex Rockmore, Alex Stevens, Zhiwen Liu and Zach Pearson all added 8-1 wins. Yang/Rockmore had a dominant 8-0 win at No. 1 doubles. Pillsbury/Stevens (8-2) and Liu/Pearson (8-4) also won in doubles.
