Fair Haven Field Hockey Wins Third in a Row
It's impressive enough that the Fair Haven field hockey team has won three in a row and four of their last five. However, even more head-turning is the list of teams the Slaters have beaten. In the last two weeks Fair Haven has taken down perennial Division III power Windsor, Granville, an annual contender in the Adirondack-Wasaren League across the New York border, and larger school Brattleboro. Not exactly chopped liver.
I think it is safe to say the Slaters stickers have arrived.
Saturday afternoon Fair Haven defeated Brattleboro for the second time this season, 2-0 on their home turf.
Vivian Ladabouche got the Slaters out to a 1-0 lead on an assist from Alana Williams.
Emilee Higgins converted a pass from Jaylena Haley to increase the lead to 2-0 and that is all Fair Haven needed.
Freshman Tori Kelly had the shutout in goal for Fair Haven.
Fair Haven is now 5-4-1 on the season.

Annie Taylor scored for the Blue Devils to equalize later in the half to make it 1-1.
