It was a great day at the annual David H. Hovey Alumni Lacrosse Game on May 17 with 24 lacrosse alumni bringing a wealth of talent, experience, and tradition spread across four decades with dads against sons, uncles versus nephews, and brothers versus brothers.
[Picture Gallery]First team goalie Gordon Santry '12 (16 saves) earned the game ball with numerous "stuffs" of Uncle Bob '86, Sam Hovey '83, and Dave Hovey '78. At the other end, Davey Hovey '09 and Kirby Zdrill '09 both scored three goals and one assist while Colby Mauke '09 had a nice goal in transition after grabbing a groundball from brothers Billy '02 and Tucker '06. Dillon Tiner '12 joined Gordon Santry in the "promise for the future" category, adding two goals of his own for the young Martlets. The final score was Westminster First Boy’s Lacrosse 16 and Westminster alumni 12.
