9-year-old drowns in Vermont lake
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Vermont Green FC is headed to the USL2 Sweet 16 after a 3-1 win over the Long Island Rough Riders in Ocean City, New Jersey, and fans in Burlington got to watch it in a group.
Vivid Coffee serves as one of the club’s sponsors and hosted Friday afternoon’s event where supporters watched the livestream of Jacob Labovitz’s hat trick in the Green’s win.
It was a great chance for fans to share in the atmosphere even though they were 400 miles away.
“It’s the best place to be if you can’t make it down to the match,” said Mike Popovitch, a member of the Green Mountain Bhoys supporters group. “I think that fact that Ian (Bailey, owner of Vivid) does this and Vivd Coffee does this for us is pretty amazing. It brings the community together. Being able to watch an event from a team that really has brought the entire Burlington community together.”
The Green will play again Sunday evening, taking on Northeast Division rival Seacoast United.
