Saturday October 5th Seacoast took on the Upper Valley Valkyries in a tightly contested match in Lebanon. Seacoast trailed at the half with a score of 10-24, answering the 4 Upper Valley tries with two of their own. Upper Valley scored again early in the second half, but Seacoast answered. The two teams traded tries again before Seacoast took control of the game, and put in another two tries, both carried by Amber Nault.
Regulation time expired with Seacoast down 4 points and a score of 30-34. But the team was able to maintain possession and avoid mistakes for several more phases, finally swinging it out to Stacy Woodley on the wing who scored the final try in the game. Laney Payne completed the conversion, yielding a final score of 37-34 with Seacoast victorious.
