They're celebrating the University of Vermont's men's NCAA soccer championship on both sides of the border.
The championship comes in Dow's eighth season at the Catamounts' helm. While he and his staff are no strangers to winning, it has taken time and effort to reach the championship level, with a strategic planning group of alumni and friends assisting Dow along the way. The championship game was equally tense with Vermont scoring an 81st-minute goal to force overtime at 1-1. Substitute Maximilian Kissel scored the sudden-death winner in the 95th minute, taking advantage of an off-balance defender to go in on goal alone before coolly rounding the goalkeeper and knocking the ball home.
Siméon, who came to Vermont after three years at the University of San Francisco, played his part in the backline this year.Smart recruiting has also helped Vermont's cause.
