Headlines: Vermont FC Continues Deliberate Growth

The Protagonist:

In an interview with Vermont Green co-founder Patrick Infurna last year, Infurna discussed the careful way the club has focused on growing in "a sustainable way," and Chris [Taylor's] development into his position reflects that careful approach, choosing the right time to level up. This season has been proof that Taylor was right to wait for the perfect moment and that moment is now. Vermont went 11-3-0 in its USL2 regular season run, winning the Northeast Division by three points. In the playoffs, the undefeated streak continued with Green beating Hudson Valley 4-1 and then FC Motown 3-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The conference championship went to extra time, but it was still a 3-1 win over Lionsbridge. The USL League Two semifinal finished 0-0 against Dothan United. But again, Taylor’s team triumphed 4-2 in penalties.
