Vermont women’s basketball starts six-game road trip with milestone win

Vermont soccer: 2024 America East championship celebration

Vermont men’s soccer defeats Bryant 2-1 in Sunday’s America East title game at soldout Virtue Field.

Vermont women’s basketball showcased its dominance against neighboring Dartmouth on Monday.

The Catamounts blew the game open in the second quarter with a 61-37 win. Vermont outscored the Big Green, 19-2, in the second quarter.

After not attempting a shot in the first quarter, the Catamounts’ leading scorer heated up. Anna Olson scored 10 points, sinking all five of her shot attempts to lead the way during the second-quarter fun.

The Catamounts started a six-game road trip as coach Alisa Kresge collected her 100th win with Vermont.

Catherine Gilwee continued to find her rhythm draining a pair of 3-pointers on the Catamounts’ first two possessions of the game. Those 3-pointers helped Vermont build an 8-0 lead immediately as the Catamounts never trailed.

While Dartmouth eventually cut Vermont’s lead down to 14-12 late in the first quarter, the Big Green could not keep pace in that second quarter.

The Catamounts created havoc on the court forcing 11 first-half turnovers and did not waste those extra possessions. Vermont cashed in those turnovers into 13 points as the Catamounts led 35-14 at halftime.

Bella Vito recorded her best game of the season scoring 10 points, grabbing a team-high nine rebounds and dishing out six assists. Olson once again led the Catamounts in scoring, finishing the game with 16 points while shooting 8-of-9 from the field.

Up next, the Catamounts travel to Alaska for the Great Alaska Shootout tournament this weekend.

Vermont offers criminal record clearing clinic to seal or expunge old cases

VERMONT (WRGB) — Vermont Attorney General Charity Clark will host a free criminal record clearing clinic on Thursday, January 15, 2025 in Brattleboro, the first to be held in the state since new expungement laws changed in July.

Sealing a record allows an individual to wipe from their criminal record specific convictions and dismissed charges after a certain period of time has passed, including records relating to contact with the criminal justice system, like arrest or citation, arraignment, plea or conviction, and sentencing. Under Vermont’s updated law, most misdemeanors, various non-violent felony offenses, and all dismissed charges can be sealed. The free clinic will focus on sealing criminal charges and convictions from Windham County, and will be open to the public by appointment only.

“For many years, my office has assisted Vermonters with clearing old criminal records that are holding them back from securing stable housing, getting better jobs, and participating fully in their communities,” said Attorney General Clark. “These clinics are a way for us to help Vermonters who have paid their debt to society and stayed out of trouble get a fresh start and strengthen the community as a whole. I want to thank Windham County State’s Attorney Steve Brown, Interaction, and the Brooks Memorial Library for their assistance in hosting this clinic.”

Attorneys from the Attorney General’s Office will offer free assistance with petitions for Vermont-specific “qualifying” criminal convictions and dismissed charges. Appointments will be available from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Vermonters must schedule appointments in advance by calling the Attorney General’s Office at 802-828-3171 or emailing AGO.Info@vermont.gov by Tuesday, January 6, 2026. Eligible participants will be given an in-person appointment at the Brooks Memorial Library in Brattleboro, Vermont, on the day of the clinic.

More information on sealing and expungements generally is available at Vermont Legal Aid’s website at www.vtlawhelp.org/expungement.
