Second Boys’ Soccer
In a battle against a very talented Hotchkiss team, the Martlets managed a 2-0 win. Both teams played a very even first half, only having one shot at net each. The second half proved to have a little more offense and exciting soccer. Jayme Stepto '16 continued his scoring streak as he put home a nice crossing pass from Miller Guth '15. Westminster was able to counterattack off a miss hit goal kick which resulted in Stepto slotting a through ball for Sam Dardani '14 who beat the visiting goalie charging off his line. Westminster goalies Will Leathers '17 and Will Brophy '15 combined for the five-save shutout.
Third Boys’ Soccer
The Third Boys' Soccer team hosted a strong Hotchkiss squad and put on a great performance, coming away with a 1-0 victory on a goal by Mac McCormick '16 in the second half. There was a mad scramble in front of the Hotchkiss goal with a number of players having a good chance to put home a rebound before McCormick made a great individual effort to finish the game-winning goal. The defense was stellar, limiting the Hotchkiss scoring opportunities.
First Girls’ Soccer
After a disappointing tie against Taft, the Martlets came out strong against Berkshire, scoring all three goals in the first half. The girls played possession soccer incredibly well and were in control for the entire first half. Megan Richard '15 had a goal and an assist. Mary French '15 also scored as did Laura Moore '14 off of a direct kick. The Bears scored with a couple of minutes remaining, but it was too little too late for the visitors.

Westminster had great games against Taft and Berkshire this week.

Eliza Mell '16 scored twice in the second to extend the lead. Goalie Hadley Smith '15 made key saves to keep Westminster ahead. At home on Hovey field, the Bears also proved to be a challenging opponent. After a few opportunities early in the half, Westminster was able to get on the board with a goal by AlainaBisson '15. The Bears scored soon after but Bisson struck again, to make it 2 to 1 for the half. Despite many corners in the second half, the Martlets were unable to extend their lead but they held on for the win due to great defense by many including Evie Pope '16.
