Vermont Green FC defied the odds on Friday night, defeating Lionsbridge FC 2-1 in the opening round of the USL League Two playoffs.
Vermont finished the season on a three-game winning streak to grab a wildcard spot. Their reward was a match against Lionsbridge, who was first in the Chesapeake Division with an undefeated record of 12-0-2. The game was played in Newport News, Virginia.
Despite Lionsbridge having home-field advantage, the Green received plenty of love online from MLSSoccer.com’s Calen Carr, Men in Blazer’s Roger Bennett, our site manager Sam Minton, and more.
