In a thrilling game on Saturday, the CVU Football team held on to beat North Country 25-22. The game in Hinesburg was a back and forth affair with neither team gaining more than a 5 point advantage, and plenty of fumbles and ball strips to keep even the most casual fan interested. North Country used its powerful running attack while CVU leaned mostly on its passing, although there was a healthy pass-run mix by the Redhawks.

North Country drew first blood after a CVU fumble gave them the ball with 7:07 remaining in the 1st quarter. Nick Leclair caught a touchdown pass from Tre Sanville for a 6-0 lead. Champlain Valley quarterback Konnor Fleming threw a touchdown pass to sophomore Ryan Beaudry and the extra point was successful to give the Redhawks their first lead of the game. CVU added a field goal just as the half expired to break at 10-6.
