    Bulldogs CEO Ameet Bains commended Grant for his contribution to the football club.

    “Chris has been an outstanding Bulldogs person for more than three decades, characterised by great integrity, care and compassion for the Club and our people,” Bains said.

    “Without exception, Chris has always put the Club first, building a legacy that includes overseeing two premierships and countless accolades during his time as a champion player and progressive leader at the Bulldogs.

    “Chris remains one of the best players to ever don the red, white and blue jumper. As an administrator, his ever-calming influence and ability to lead people has guided this Club through both successful and challenging times.

    “On behalf of our Club and the entire Bulldogs community, we’re extremely grateful to Chris for everything he has done for us and we wish him well for the next chapter of his journey.”

  • Soccer playoffs start: Bulldogs win 1-0 | Sports

    Soccer playoffs start: Bulldogs win 1-0 | Sports

    While the Redbank Valley Bulldogs were winning their opener in the District 9 Class 1A boys’ soccer playoffs in Wednesday’s 1-0 win at home over Elk County Catholic, the Lady Bulldogs end a 14-day layoff when they play for the Class 2A title next Tuesday.

    And against Elk County Catholic, it was the Bulldogs (15-4) scoring late on Caleb Root’s goal off a Kieran Fricko assist with just 1:42 left on the clock. (More on this game on-line at www.leader-vindicator.com and in next week’s print edition).

    The 14-2-1 Lady Bulldogs haven’t played since blanking Keystone 6-0 in Knox back on Oct. 14. They take a 5-0-1 streak into the playoffs since their last loss, a 4-3 setback at Brockway on Sept. 26.

    St. Marys is the Lady Bulldogs’ foe. The Lady Dutch stand at 6-11 and share common foes Central Clarion, Brockway, Elk County Catholic, Brookville, Karns City, Kane and Eisenhower.

    The Lady Bulldogs were 2-0 against Central Clarion, 1-1 against Karns City along with wins over Brookville, Kane and Eisenhower with a loss to Brockway. The Lady Dutch were 1-1 against Brookville, 2-0 against Kane and Elk County Catholic, and a win over Central Clarion with a loss to Karns City and Eisenhower.

    The Lady Bulldogs have outscored foes 81-29 thus far with Lia Hageter (29), Mylee Harmon (20) and Iris Reitz (13) combining for 62. Harmon (12), Bella Orr (10), Iris Reitz (9) and Lia Hageter (9) are the team’s assist leaders.

    The rest of Wednesday’s D9 Class 1A boys’ quarterfinal schedule had top-seeded Central Clarion beating Northern Potter 2-1 in overtime, so it’ll be the Bulldogs visiting the Wildcats at the C-L Sports Complex at a time to be announced.

    On the other side of the bracket Wednesday, it was No. 3 seed Brockway hosting No. 6 North Clarion and No. 2 Port Allegany hosting No. 7 DuBois Central Catholic. Those winners also meet Monday at the higher seeded team.

    Monday’s semifinal winners advance to next Wednesday’s final at a neutral site and time to be announced. Only the D9 champion advances to the state playoffs with the opening round scheduled for Nov. 5 against the WPIAL runner-up at a D9 site to be determined.

    The Bulldogs took a six-game winning streak into the postseason, outscoring foes 35-4 during that span. Last Wednesday in a 3-2 win over Ridgway, Kieran Fricko scored two goals while Titus Smith also scored. Brayder Perez Godinez assisted on two goals and Smith on the other. Leland Ingram was the winning goalkeeper.

  • WOMEN’S ICE HOCKEY: In opening exhibition game, Bulldogs freeze out McGill in 5-1 win

    WOMEN’S ICE HOCKEY: In opening exhibition game, Bulldogs freeze out McGill in 5-1 win



    Yale Athletics

    The Yale women’s ice hockey team is back on the ice with a 5-1 shutout against McGill in their first game of the season. 

    On Saturday afternoon, the Bulldogs hosted the Martlets in a preseason exhibition match at Ingalls Rink. By the end of the first period, Vita Poniatovskaia ’25 and Carina DiAntonio ’26 had each scored a goal for Yale. At the end of the game, rookie Cami Bell ’28 scored her first two collegiate goals, and captain Anna Bargman ’25 clinched the final goal. The win marks a promising start to the season for the Bulldogs. 

    “The team always sets goals at the beginning of the season,” said Jordan Ray ’26. “This year, our goal is to win the Ivy League and the ECAC championship, then move on to represent Yale at the national level and bring home a national championship.” 

    These goals follow a year in which the Elis “fell short,” according to Ray, in the playoffs. Now, two years after making it to the Frozen Four, the team is gearing up more intensely than ever for a successful comeback. 

    In addition to practicing six days a week on the ice, the team trains off the ice up to five days a week in cardio, power training, agility work and shooting development. These drills are coupled with regular team bonding exercises, including service shifts at the Yale Community Kitchen. 

    “We want to be a hard team to play against, and the team no one wants to see on their schedule. We know that the league is going to be extremely competitive, so bringing our best to every game is crucial,” Bargman, the team’s captain, wrote to the News. “With the majority of the team being returners, a lot of us are able to lead and exemplify what we need to do to push ourselves for the greatest season yet.” 

    Olivia Muhn ’25 emphasized that balancing big-picture visions with fine-tuning smaller details of the game would be critical to reaching their goals. She also noted the underrecognized importance of maintaining a positive mindset that “alone can carry a team far.” 

    While upperclassmen still make up a large portion of the team, many players acknowledged that the graduation of former captain Elle Hartje ’24, who was drafted into the Professional Women’s Hockey League, and standout forward Kiersten Goode ’24 left substantial gaps on the ice. However, they also noted that the large new class of seven freshmen demonstrated the skills, discipline and instinct necessary to fill their shoes. 

    “Our freshman class is already integrating well into the team. They are a very strong group who will make an impact this season,” Ray told the News. 

    The Bulldogs also commended the new upperclassmen stepping into leadership roles on the team. Four players told the News that there are two “main point leaders” fans should look out for this year: Pia Dukaric ’25, who recorded the most minutes and saves out of any goalie at the 2023 IIHF Women’s World Championship and was the 2023 ECAC goalie of the year, and Bargman, 2023 ECAC All-Academic and Second Team All-Ivy recipient.

    Dukaric said that the team gained valuable experience last year after losing key players like Claire Dalton ’23 and that they have a few “really good” games at the end of the season that they aim to build upon. The goalie also expressed her excitement about seeing the large class of freshman players “step up” to the rink. 

    The freshmen highlighted the supportive energy and camaraderie within the team as consistent sources of motivation as they enter a year filled with high ambitions. 

    “The culture of the team is fantastic,” said Naomi Baechler ’28. “We’re focused, motivated and always ready to support one another both on and off the ice. And the intensity of being in the rink and pushing for a win with my teammates is just unmatched.”

    The Bulldogs will drop the puck on their first collegiate match of the season against Saint Anselm College on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at Ingalls Rink.

  • WOMEN’S SOCCER: Bulldogs trump Dartmouth in first Ivy League game

    WOMEN’S SOCCER: Bulldogs trump Dartmouth in first Ivy League game



    Yale Athletics

    On Saturday night, the Yale Women’s Soccer team (6–3, 1–0 Ivy) etched their first conference victory in the books against Dartmouth (6–3–1, 0–1 Ivy) at Burnham Field in Hanover, New Hampshire.

    For the past three years, the Bulldogs have failed to defeat the Big Green, with two of those three games ending in home losses. It was their turn to give Dartmouth a taste of their own medicine.

    “1–0 each game has been our approach all season and this team has stayed so focused on that throughout the year,” Head Coach Sarah Martinez told Yale Athletics. “But I know this one was circled on the schedule wanting to set a tone in the Ivy League.”

    Quickly into the first period, Dartmouth attacked Yale goalkeeper Kyla Holmes ’27. Despite pressure from the opposition, Holmes maintained the sanctity of her goal, making three saves in just the first period, keeping the Big Green at zero. Although just a sophomore, Holmes has started more games for the Bulldogs than any Yalie on the roster and has been a staple for their defense.

    At 37:38 in the first period, Tanner Cahalan ’25 scored the first goal of the game on a strike from outside the box, assisted by Ashley Kirschner ’26. This was Cahalan’s second goal of the season. 

    The team maintained that lead going into the second period until 56:01, when Dartmouth’s Daisy Granholm pushed past Yale defenders and tied the game, 1–1. 

    As the clock dwindled, both teams desperately fought to avoid a tie in their Ivy League opener. 

    At 84:29, Ellie Rappole ’25 raced down the far side of the field and shot the ball high over the head of the Big Green goalie, securing the game-winning goal. This was Rappole’s third goal, a total that leads the team.

    This marked the team’s third win in a row. 

    Martinez told Yale Athletics how impressed she was by the way her team performed.

    “I am so proud of our team for this result,” she said. “The first half quality, the second half grit, and finding a way to get three points on the road is a huge accomplishment in this league.”

    The Bulldogs match up against the Boston University Terriers (2–6–3, 2–0–1 Patriot) on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. at Reese Stadium in New Haven.

  • MEN’S SOCCER: Bulldogs clinch their first win of the season at Sacred Heart

    MEN’S SOCCER: Bulldogs clinch their first win of the season at Sacred Heart



    Yale Athletics

    The Men’s Soccer team (2–4–1) faced off against Sacred Heart University, or SHU, (5–2) on Saturday, Sept. 21, on home turf at Reese Stadium. After struggling to secure a victory so far this year, the game featured an explosive offense from the Bulldogs. 

    At the six minute mark, Aydin Jay ’26 took the Bulldogs’ first shot on goal, but the Sacred Heart goalkeeper found the save to keep the game scoreless. The game would remain that way for another 30 minutes until TJ Presthus ’25 headed a corner kick from Jonathan Seidman ’25 just inside the far post, giving the Bulldogs the lead. Goalie Chris Edwards ’25 kept the Pioneers scoreless through the rest of the first half, securing the Elis’ 1–0 lead going into the second period of play.

    Following the half, Joseph Farouz ’27 worked his way through the Sacred Heart defense before passing the ball over to fellow sophomore, Simon Adjakple ’27, who swiftly found the back of the net, extending the Bulldogs’ lead to 2–0. 

    The Pioneers answered only 10 minutes later, with a goal off a rebound that snuck past Edwards, thinning the Bulldogs’ lead to 2–1.

    The Bulldogs on offense, however, were not finished. Fifteen minutes later Farouz fired a shot past the Pioneer’s goalie, extending the Elis lead to 3–1. Five minutes after that, Jay slotted a low shot into the goal, with the SHU goalie diving, but failing to grab the ball. This cemented a 4–1 lead and was Jay’s first career goal.

    At the 81 minute mark, the Pioneers attempted to strike back, but goalie Edwards put a stop to it, and the game saw no more goals. The Bulldogs won decisively, securing their first win after four losses and one tie to start the rocky season.

    “We definitely needed a night like this, and seeing the results of our work as a team will propel us into more solid performances, I know it,” Jay wrote to the News.

    Yale now leads the series with SHU 6–3–3, and the win broke the Pioneers four game winning streak. Yale’s first goal marked the first time the Pioneers had allowed a goal in over 400 minutes, with SHU previously shutting out their last four opponents.

    When asked about takeaways they can apply to upcoming Ivy League play, Alex Umana  ’26 replied, “We’ve learned that no game will be handed to us, regardless of the opponent. It takes hard work, and every match is physical.The team understands that if we mentally prepare and give our all for 90 minutes, we’ll be ready for our Ivy opener against Cornell at home.”

    The Bulldogs mounted an away campaign against Quinnipiac (2–4–1) on Tuesday, Sept. 24, before beginning Ivy League play against Cornell (4–0–2) on Saturday, Sept. 28, on home turf at Reese Stadium.

  • WOMEN’S SOCCER: Bulldogs soar before their first Ivy League match

    WOMEN’S SOCCER: Bulldogs soar before their first Ivy League match



    Yale Athletics

    The Yale women’s soccer team (5–3, 0–0 Ivy) took on Sacred Heart (0–5–1, 0–2 MAAC) during their home game this past Thursday, Sept. 19. 

    In a 2–1 game, the Bulldogs secured their fifth win of the season, ahead of the team’s game against Dartmouth on Sep. 28 for its first Ivy League match. 

    Coming off a win against Seton Hall on Sep. 14, Yale was looking to build momentum before their first Ivy League game. On the other hand, Sacred Heart hoped to come out with their first win of the season. 

    The Bulldogs quickly settled into their style of play having ease playing from the back and controlling the center of the pitch. The team was able to control the first half of the game thanks to its aggressive high press. 

    From each Sacred Heart goal kick, to every lost possession, the team sought to unsettle the opponent’s back line which had trouble advancing the ball with control. 

    “Defensively we constantly say — we will defend less if we win the ball back as quickly and if not, we need to get numbers behind the ball and be physical with runners,” Coach Sarah Martinez told the News. 

    With the Bulldogs’ pressing strategy playing out well, the Bulldogs were able to link up in the middle third comfortably. Still, it wasn’t until the 44th minute that Yale got a great chance on net. 

    Ellie Rappolle ’25 was tackled in the box for a penalty. With two goals and two assists in the season, Rappolle added another goal to her tally, shooting left and sending the goalie in the wrong direction. The Bulldogs soared into the lead. 

    Yale started strong in the second half ramping up their shot attempts. The Bulldogs aimed to increase their lead by producing two dangerous shots and having a goal ruled out for offside within five minutes. As they sustained their offensive plays, the team comfortably handled Sacred Heart attacks, mainly consisting of long ball attempts through the middle. 

    However, in the 57th minute, Sacred Heart found an equalizer through Morgan Bovardi who finished a well-played sequence that started from the back.

    The Elis quickly responded. Four minutes after Yale conceded the goal, Andie Miller ’27 returned the lead by scoring her first collegiate goal. Miller headed the ball into the top left corner from a lofted corner kick by Alanna Butcher ’25. 

    “As a center back I never really get chances on goal so it was surreal to score my first collegiate goal,” Miller told the News. “Alanna Butcher played me a perfect ball and I was just able to jump up and head it in. I’m just happy I was able to contribute to a much-deserved win.” 

    From there on, Yale stayed in control of the game as they limited Sacred Heart to four shots in the second half compared to their eleven attempts. 

    Martinez told the News that she was happy with the team’s performance.

    “I thought we created some quality chances and showcased our identity and brand of soccer,” she added. “We are at our best when we are able to press teams and I think we showcased that in many stretches of last night’s game.”

    The women’s soccer team displayed a confident and controlled performance. Their next game is at Dartmouth on Saturday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m., against a team that Martinez described as “organized” and “difficult to break down.” 

    The upcoming game against Dartmouth will be available to watch on ESPN+.

  • WOMEN’S SOCCER: Bulldogs fall to UConn, best Seton Hall

    WOMEN’S SOCCER: Bulldogs fall to UConn, best Seton Hall



    Courtesy of Yale Athletics

    This past week, the Yale women’s soccer team (4–3, 0–0 Ivy) ventured to Storrs, Conn. on Thursday, and traveled to South Orange, N.J. on Sunday for two away games. 

    The Elis fell to in-state rival UConn (6–1–1, 0–0 Big East) in a 2–1 game at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium but came on top in a 1–0 game against Seton Hall Pirates (3–5–1, 0–0 Big East). 

    The game against the Huskies began with the usual quiet front from the Bulldogs, who made aggressive moves toward the goal but had only one shot in the entire first half. At 21 minutes into the game, UConn’s Chioma Okafor secured the first goal, giving the Huskies the lead.

    Okafor was a 2023 third-team All-American pick for the Huskies and proved to be a difficult obstacle for the Bulldogs to surmount over the remainder of the 90-minute match.

    Shortly after the 21st-minute goal, Okafor scored again, putting Yale in a 2–0 deficit going into the second period. 

    This lack of momentum at the beginning of games is exactly what Head Coach Sarah Martinez wants her team to improve upon over the course of the season.

    In previous matchups, Yale has waited until late in the game to score. In the team’s first game of the season against Hofstra (2–1–4, 0–0 CAA), the Elis fell to a 2–0 deficit before scoring a goal all too late. The pattern continued against Stony Brook (5–2–1, 0–0 CAA), where the Bulldogs scored the only goal of the game at 71:50. Yale lost and won those games, respectively.

    “We have to continue to challenge our group to start games as strong as we finish,” Martinez told Yale Athletics. “Going down two goals in the first half is a tough task for anyone, especially on the road. When we can put together a full 90-minute performance, our results will follow.”

    After the first half, Yale fashioned together a goal, cutting UConn’s lead in half. Forward Vienna Lundstedt ’28 notched the first goal of her career after the Bulldogs lost a player via red card. 

    Despite the momentum shift, Yale was unable to take control of the match, and their fate was sealed in a 2–1 loss. 

    “I was happy with our second-half performance,” Martinez told Yale Athletics. “Cutting the lead during that stretch and having multiple chances late to equalize as well.”

    On Sunday, the team hit the road again — this time to South Orange, N.J. — taking on the Seton Hall Pirates.

    The one and only goal of the game against Seton Hall was scored in the 34th minute, a triumph by Phebe Ryan ’28 on an assist by Lundstedt. The real performance came through on the Bulldogs’ defense, led by goalkeeper Kyla Holmes ’27.

    Holmes, who has shared much of her time defending the goal this season with rookie Anna Shamgochian ’28, showed herself as a mainstay on defense with a career-high nine saves and 19 shots faced.

    “We weathered a bit of a storm in the second half, but Kyla stepped up big and so did our entire team,” Martinez said. “We played with depth today and any time you can head home with a win on the road is a good day.”

    The Bulldogs will come home to Reese Stadium to host Sacred Heart University (0–6–1, 0–2 MAAC) on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 7 p.m.
