The South Burlington Rebels boys soccer team upset CVU 3-2 in boys soccer Friday. The loss shook up the tournament seedings for the upcoming Division 1 Playoff Tournament next week, as Missisquoi will now earn the #1 seed in Division 1.
“We came out and played hard and our defense played amazing today,” said Cody Nash-Gibney. “We came out real pumped up.”
The Rebels got an early goal from Rob Wetmore from a Cody Nash-Gibney assist. After CVU’s Shane Haley tied the game 1-1, Nash-Gibney added a goal with less than two minutes remaining in first half.
Alejandro Vinals pushed the South Burlington (9-4-1) lead to 3-1 in the second half. CVU cut the deficit to just a goal after Ezra Mount-Finette scored a goal with less than eight minutes remaining.
The loss was just the second of the season for CVU (11-2-1). The Redhawks will likely be the #3 seed in the upcoming playoffs. South Burlington will likely be the fourth seed.
Sean Keogh recorded 4 saves for South Burlington, while Brendan O’Connell collected 6 saves for CVU.

South Burlington Rebels beat a strong CVU team and an official in this game. As a 13 year USSA ref and ref assessor, I was embarrassed by Bill Edwards officiating, yet again…. I thought the low of his career was a horrible pk call against the rebels when they played MMU, which the replay clearly showed was in error. But no…. Vt continues to let incredibly inept officials ref high school soccer games…. There were no less than a dozen VERY poor calls in this game, and the Rebels were lucky to pull this one out. Judge for yourself and watch the game tape. Either one of the worst officials ever, or very anti SB…. Either way, totally unacceptable. Please do not let this idiot officiate in the playoffs…..
