Vermont Green FC sealed the 2026 USL2 Northeast Division championship on Tuesday, routing Connecticut Rush 6‑2 in a dominant display that left the title out of reach for second‑placed New England FC and delivered the club’s 37th point of the campaign.
The win marks the first time the Green have captured back‑to‑back Northeast Division titles, underscoring a historic milestone for a team that has built its identity on relentless attacking play.
Coach Chris Taylor hails the squad’s cohesion

With one fixture remaining against Western Mass Pioneers at Lusitano Stadium on July 10, Vermont Green are poised to stretch their unbeaten run to 37 matches, a testament to their consistency throughout the season.
The victory also guarantees a berth in the 2026 USL League Two Playoffs, where the Green will await the league’s release of dates, times and host venues.

Beyond the silverware, the championship underscores the growing stature of Vermont Green within the USL2 landscape and sets a benchmark for aspiring teams in the region.
