Ursuline 4, Martha's Vineyard 1 (January 19, 2020)
The home team hung with the powerful private school from Dedham, but ultimately Ursuline had too much fire power for the home team, and the Vineyarders dropped the championship game 4-1.
Amelia Simmons stood tall in net as she kept Ursuline off the scoreboard through the first 24 minutes of the contest. However, Ursuline tallied a goal with just over six minutes to go in the middle stanza, and then they followed with a goal with just over a minute to play in the second.
Two more goals from Ursuline in the third paced the visitors to a 4-0 lead, but Ava BenDavid set up Alana Nevin to break the shut out. The Vineyarders kept the pressure on the rest of the way, but they were unable to find the back of the net, and Ursuline soon collected their championship plaque at center ice as victors of the 20th annual Nan Rheault Invitational.

Martha's Vineyard 6, Scituate 5 (January 18, 2020)
The home team advanced to the championship game of the 20th Annual Nan Rheault Tournament with an exciting 6-5 win over long time rivals Scituate High School.
After Caroline Kelleher opened the scoring with her first varsity goal, and the two teams skated to a 1-1 draw in the first period, the Vineyard found their stride offensively with three second period goals. Alana Nevin, Kelleher, and Paige Anderson found the back of the net in the middle period, and senior netminder Amelia Simmons allowed just one Sailors goal to lead Martha's Vineyard to a 4-2 lead after two periods.
The third period saw the Vineyard jump out to two separate three goal leads. Skylah Harthcock scored early in the final period to up the lead to 5-2, and after a Scituate goal, Ava BenDavid found the back of the net with a nifty wrist shot to regain the three-goal margin with just over six minutes left in the contest. Two late goals by the Sailors made things interesting, but Martha's Vineyard held on for the win and a spot in the 1pm championship game against powerhouse Ursuline Academy.

The 20th Annual Nan Rheault tournament kicks off Saturday with games at 5pm and 7pm. The Vineyard hosts Scituate in the second game at 7pm
