Martlets Named to All-Tournament Team
Three members of the First Field Hockey team have been recognized for their outstanding play in the Class A New England Tournament. Goalie Carmen MacDonald '11, forward Paige Decker '10 and defensewoman Sara Ugalde '10 made the All-Tournament Team.
For the first time in school history, Westminster advanced to the New England finals after an exciting overtime victory against Greenwich Academy that came down to penalty strokes. In the finals, the Martlets faced Hotchkiss, the tournament's winner for the past several years. Again, the game was decided in overtime but not in Westminster's favor.
MacDonald proved invaluable in goal this season, earning a total of 10 shutouts. Her performance in the tournament was outstanding. She blocked three of the five penalty strokes against Greenwich and kept the Martlets in the game against Hotchkiss as the Bearcats ceaselessly pressured the Martlet defense. Ugalde was also a major player on defense all season long and instrumental in limiting the Martlets' opponents to only 12 goals. Her speed and tenacity will be missed. Decker was a force on offense. Over the course of the season, she earned nine goals and eight assists, proving to be one of the main threats for the Black and Gold.
