Maine women prep for soccer playoffs Bears to play first-round game Nov. 1

BURLINGTON, Vt. – Carson Laderoute scored the game’s only goal with 9:52 remaining in the second half Thursday to lead the University of Vermont to a 1-0 America East women’s soccer victory over Maine.

It was incorrectly reported in Friday’s paper that Maine was eliminated from postseason contention.

Since six teams from America East qualify for the playoffs, coach Scott Atherley’s Black Bears (5-7-3 overall, 3-3-1 AE) have secured a spot in the quarterfinals, which will be played Nov. 1 at the home sites of the higher seeds.

Maine, which has finished second in the America East tournament the previous four seasons, occupies fifth place heading into Sunday’s noon regular-season finale against Stony Brook in Orono.

Jasmine Phillips was not forced to make any saves against four shots for Maine.

Eliza Bradley made eight saves on 11 shots for the 3-13-1 Catamounts, who also remain in postseason contention.
