After a very brief absence, North Kingstown has returned to the winner's circle.

Megan Greene scored two goals and assisted on another and Cassie-Raye Stuart had one goal and an assist, in leading the Skippers to a 3-0 victory over Tiverton in the title game of the R.I. Interscholastic League Division I Field Hockey Championship, tonight at Cranston Stadium.

Making its seventh title appearance in 11 years, North Kingstown has now won four out of the last six Division I state crowns, including three straight from 2002 to 2004.

North Kingstown senior Natalie Bates was named the tournament MVP after leading the Skippers' strong defensive effort.
