Vermont Green could cap an undefeated season in this weekend’s USL League Two title game, with overflow crowds expected once again
A silence fell on Virtue Field. Owen O’Malley stepped up, kissed the ball, and prepared to take Vermont Green’s fifth penalty in a shootout. The outcome of that spot kick could decide the winner of the USL League Two semi-final against Dothan United in the fourth tier of American soccer.
The moment of quiet was in stark contrast to the buzz that has gathered around this team in 2025, but the silence was soon broken as O’Malley coolly rolled his spot-kick down the middle. The back of the net rippled, and the celebrations in the stands spilled on to the field.
