Redhawks Defeat Cougars in D-II Semifinal Game 21-14.

The CVU Redhawks recorded its first playoff win in its five-year history Friday night in a 21-14 victory over Mount Mansfield in a Division II semifinal at Buck Hard Field in Burlington. The Redhawks’ defense forced six MMU turnovers, including five interceptions by Ryan Busch, Mike Bean Konnor Fleming and Tyler Barnes. CVU first scored after a blocked punt by Matt Long when Konnor Fleming connected on a 16-yard scoring pass to Ryan Busch, Brian Cherhoniak kicking the extra point. Next the Redhawks drove 80 yards with a mix of passes and runs ending in a TD by freshman halfback Tyler Barnes’ 6-yard run up the middle. CVU's final score came when Matt Long blocked his second punt of the game and recovered the ball in the endzone! Our Redhawks now advance to the Nov. 14 championship game at Essex High School, where we will play Colchester. .
