The
first ever NCFA-sanctioned collegiate club football game lived up to the hype,
as the University of Vermont Catamounts defeated their rival Black Bears
from the University
of Maine 21-20 in a nail-biter

fought until the end and, with the deciding score coming on a one-yard
touchdown run by UVM's running back and club president Doug DeLuca in his final

UVM vs. Dartmouth College, October 18
By Sarah CoonOctober 22, 2009
After a disappointing 45-0 rout in their first away
game of the season October 11 at Williams College, the University of Vermont
went on the road again this past weekend, travelling to Hanover, New Hampshire
to play Division I-AA Dartmouth College’s junior varsity Big Green. The
Catamounts had practiced hard all week, and eagerly anticipated Sunday’s game.
The air in Hanover was frosty, and rumors had swirled all week of an impending
nor’easter, but the weather held off for the 1:00 pm start and the game began
without delay.

The UVM Catamount football team and
their growing band of faithful followers convened on yet another absolutely
gorgeous early autumn afternoon for a game of football. After the game
scheduled for the previous week was unexpectedly cancelled by Endicott College,
the Catamounts were well rested and eager to meet their Collegiate Development
Football League opponent.

The University of Vermont Catamount football team
faced Norwich University, its second opponent of the season, in a 1:00pm game at
Burlington High School this past Sunday. With a light breeze and not a cloud in
the sky, the two teams met on the type of mild September afternoon that seems made for a football game. After a tough 24-17 loss to Castleton State College in their season opener last weekend, the Catamounts came into this match hungry for a win.

The UVM football team kicked off its
third season on a beautiful late August evening against another up and coming football
program, Castleton State College. In their first appearance as a varsity
program, Division III Castleton State dressed 80 players for Friday night’s
contest at Burlington High School. Under the lights on the other side of the
field, 42 young men clad in Vermont green and gold eagerly anticipated the start
of another exciting season.
Club Football Keeps Game Alive
By Tony Lane, Valley NewsSeptember 22, 2008
Hanover -- At the end of the third quarter of yesterday's junior varsity game, Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens crossed Memorial Field and asked his counterpart if he wanted the game clock to run nonstop through the final quarter. After all, the Big Green was leading by almost 40 points. David Motherway politely declined: "We came to play. This is what we said at the beginning and this is how we'll run it." So Motherway's squad, the University of Vermont club football team, absorbed a 57-3 shellacking by afternoon's end. For the second-year startup -- UVM's test tube, as it were, for the potential resurrection of a varsity football program that was dropped after the 1974 season -- it's not the score that matters. It's all about follow-through.

New Direction for 2008
By Doug DeLucaMarch 18, 2008
The
University of
Vermont Club Football Team
will be taking on a new schedule for the 2008-2009 season. In 2007, the team
competed in an amateur, or “semi-pro” football league, the Northeast
Independent Football League. The team had a successful year, and went 5-3
during the regular season, and 1-1 during the playoffs, only to lose in the
semi-finals against the Vermont Ravens based out of
Barre,
VT.
However, the team has chosen to take a different route in 2008.
