Poultney, Vt. — If nothing else, Woodstock High girls basketball coach Timmy MacDonnell learned he had a clutch player in Mariah Luce on Tuesday night, if he wasn’t already aware.

Luce helped the Wasps erase a fourth-quarter deficit with an 8-for-10 performance at the foul line, but it couldn’t bring Woodstock a win. Host Poultney tied the Wasps late before prevailing in overtime, 41-38, at Poultney High School.

Luce shared team scoresheet-topping honors with Madison Schultz, as each scored 14 points. Schultz spread her offense throughout the evening, MacDonnell said, while Luce saved her best for last.

“We had the lead with 30 seconds to go, and we couldn’t get that stop we needed to secure the victory,” he said. “It’s a testament to (the Blue Devils’) execution late in the game.”

Leanna Mason paced Poultney (2-7) with 22 points.

Natalie Stevens matched her season high with six points for Woodstock (3-5), which is off until a visit to Windsor on Wednesday.

Newfound 60, Mascoma 22

Bristol, n.h. — The Royals (2-8) ran into the buzzsaw that is Newfound, which used its 10th straight win to remain within percentage points of Monadnock at the top of the NHIAA Division III standings.

Boys Basketball

Williamstown 74, Sharon 29

Sharon — Brandon Carrier buried five of his six 3-pointers in the first half, and none of it came as a surprise to Sharon coach Blake Fabrikant.

“They’re the best I’ve seen them in a long time, possibly the best I’ve ever seen,” Fabrikant said of the Blue Devils (10-0). “I’m thoroughly impressed. They don’t have the superstars of the past, but 1 through 10 (in their lineup) are phenomenal.”

Harvey Kelley hit for 11 points and Sam Knoerlein contributed eight for the Phoenix (4-3), which hosts Blue Mountain on Thursday night.

Lyndon 48, Thetford 33

Lyndon Center, Vt. — The host Vikings (10-1) hit double digits in the win column by holding the Panthers (2-6) to single digits in each of the final two quarters.

D-III Thetford stayed with the third-ranked squad in D-II through the first half before managing just 12 points in the second. Connor Brown topped the TA scoresheet with 13 points, while Nick Moses and Dylan Thorburn added seven apiece.

The Panthers host Randolph on Thursday night.

Randolph 66, Oxbow 47

Randolph — A four-point third quarter out of a 31-31 halftime tie ultimately doomed the Olympians (3-7), giving the hosts impetus to earn their first win of the season.

“We just didn’t come out in the second half,” Oxbow coach Steve Carson lamented. “We didn’t rebound well the entire game, and we just came out with a lack of energy in the second half.”

Senior Travis Gray set the table for the Galloping Ghosts (1-7), scoring a game-high 22 points.

Lincoln Illsley topped the O’s with 15 points, and Matt Towle contributed 11. Oxbow hosts Montpelier on Thursday night.

Pittsfield 79, Sunapee 38

Pittsfield, n.h. — The Panthers (8-1) won their fourth straight, beating the Lakers (1-5).

Sunapee heads north to Woodsville on Friday night.

Harvard 2, Dartmouth 1

Boston — Eleni Tebano answered an early Harvard goal with one of her own, but the Big Green couldn’t muster another in an ECAC Hockey loss to the Crimson (2-13-2) at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center.

Kate Hallett’s first goal of the season put Harvard in front in the third minute, only to have Tebano answer less than three minutes later. Kaitlin Tse notched the game-winning goal midway through the second period for the hosts.

“I thought tonight’s game was fairly evenly matched,” Dartmouth coach Laura Schuler said. “We continue to make positive strides toward growing as a team.”

Christie Honor made 29 saves in goal for Dartmouth (5-13-0), which saw a three-game winning streak — all by 2-1 scores — come to an end. The Big Green heads to Yale on Friday.

Ex-Green GK Drafted Into MLS

Los Angeles — Former Dartmouth goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland will have an opportunity at professional soccer career after being selected in the second round of the Major League Soccer SuperDraft last week by the Chicago Fire.

A 2016 Dartmouth graduate, Cleveland made use of a holdover year of athletic eligibility to tend net at the University of Louisville last fall.
