The Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS) girls hockey team erupted for four goals and Vineyarder goaltender Julia Bettencourt turned in a stellar performance to nail down a 4-1 victory over a talented Newton South-Brookline (NSB) squad on Saturday night at the MV Ice Arena.
The Vineyarders took a 1-0 first period lead, scored twice in the second and made the 3-0 lead stand up by matching NSB’s late third period goal with an empty-netter in the final minute.
Sophomores Lauren Boyd and Meghan Sonia, Junior Genny Kent, and senior Kylie Hatt scored for the Vineyarders. Ms. Boyd, Natalija Lakis and Hailey Meader had assists in a balanced team effort.
Ms. Bettencourt faced 24 NSB shots and made a handful of saves to seal the win.
The Vineyard victory avenges a 3-0 NSB win over MV in the season opener and improves the Vineyarders season record to 3-9-2. NSB fell to 3-9-4.
The rejuvenated Vineyarders hope to keep the momentum rolling when they face off next against Sandwich High School on Wednesday at 3 pm at the MV Ice Arena.
