Women's Soccer: MCLA 3 Castleton 0

Print Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – MCLA made it three straight victories with a 3-0 shutout of the Spartans of Castleton State. The 3-0 score is a bit misleading however as this was a tight game throughout; with both goalies making some outstanding saves.

The Trailblazers got up just three minutes into the game when Harmony McGorman (Orleans) raced up the left side of the box off a perfect feed from Jess Tietgens (Stamford, VT). McGorman blasted a shot past Spartan goalie Ericka Davis (Cambridge, VT) making it 1-0. Both teams had good opportunities turned back with the Trailblazers having a slight edge in play going into the break.

Castleton came out strong in the second half with several chances by Courtney Chadburn (North Clarendon, VT) and Maria Arnot (Milford, NY). Arnot broke in several times in the second half, but was turned away by Jen Wehner (Cooperstown, NY) each time. The climax of the game with around 15:00 left in the contest; Tietgens was in alone and set to make it a two goal game when keeper Davis came way out beyond the box to break it up.

The Spartans came right down the field and it was Arnot’s chance in alone. Wehner got just enough of the Arnot shot to redirect it off the post and a sprawled out Wehner was able to cover up. The play seemed to energize the Trailblazers. Six minutes later freshman Lindsay Borbolla (Greenwich, NY) headed in a long free kick off the foot of Jade Prickett (Westhampton).  Prickett added another assist minutes later on a feed to Tietgens for the final goal of the day.

Wehner was terrific making 13 saves and several other big plays on balls in the box. Davis was also very good making 13 saves of her own. Sarah Ethier (Portsmouth, RI) also had four shots on goal for the Spartans. Castleton drops to 0-5-1on the season and MCLA climbs above .500 at 3-2.

Castleton will travel to Lyndon State on Saturday and the Trailblazers will open up conference play by hosting Bridgewater State on Saturday at 2:00pm.

New North Adams Restaurant Approved for Liquor License

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A new restaurant on Main Street, a provisions shop and a convenience store all got the nod from the License Commission on Tuesday.
 
Siblings Colleen and Sean Taylor are expanding their cuisine empire yet again with the establishment of Main & Mill in the old TD Bank. They were before the commission to apply for an all-alcohol license. 
 
The building is owned by Ginko on Main Street LLC, which has granted 20 years exclusive possession of the property to Latent Builds as the developer. Jack and Suzy Wadsworth, behind Ginko, are development partners with Salvatore Perry and Karla Rothstein of Latent.
 
The bank closed in early 2021 and purchased by Ginko late that year. Plans for the property unveiled three years ago envisioned a restaurant, retail, a park and rooftop bar. 
 
The building's hosted some pop-up eateries and is currently under construction for the new restaurant. 
 
Colleen Taylor said the restaurant will be open seven days a week serving lunch and dinner, and be open early for coffee. 
 
"It's not going to be a very big restaurant. It's about the same size as Trail House, except for Trail House has a bigger patio, so about the same seating," she said.
