BENNINGTON, Vt. - The Johnson State College Badgers defeated non-conference in-state foe in the Southern Vermont College Mountaineers 6-0 Tuesday on Everett Field. Six different Badgers scored in the game.  Johnson State improves to 6-3 overall, 1-1 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) while the Mountaineers fall to 0-9.

Southern Vermont held JSC at bay for 18 minutes before freshman Stephanie Fay (Essex Junction, Vt./Essex) knocked it past Catrina Cecchini in the top left corner of the frame on a nice pass from senior Samantha Cutting (Rochester, Vt./Rochester).

Two unassisted goals from junior Crystal Greene (Springfield, Vt./Springfield) and freshman Jen Ferrari (Westfield, Mass./Westfield) in the 36th and 45th minutes gave the Badgers a 3-0 lead. Only a minute later freshman Kelsie Perdue (Barre, Vt./Spaulding) took a nifty pass from Kyleigh Joseph (Hancock, N.H./Hancock) and hit the back of the frame to make it 4-0.

The Mountaineers held JSC until the 69th minute when sophomore Ally Bataille (Waterbury, Vt./Harwood) kicked it over the reaching arms of Cecchini on an unassisted effort. The Badgers last score came in the 74th minute when sophomore Christen Harrington (Cambridge, Vt./Lamoille) knocked in a nice pass from Bataille to make it 6-0.

Cecchini was impressive throughout for SVC making an eye-popping 31 saves while winning keeper Jes Gertsch (East Haven, Conn./East Haven) did not record a save.

Johnson will step back into NAC action on Friday, October 8th at 2:00 pm when they host Castleton State College at Minaert Field.  SVC is back in action Saturday, October 9th, when it hosts New England Collegiate Conference foe the Bay Path College Wildcats at 3:00 p.m.
