Martlets Piece It Together for Victory Over Suffield
Westminster traveled north to take on the Tigers of Suffield Academy. Westminster got on the board early with three quick goals in the first two minutes of play, attempting to set the tone for the rest of the game. However, due to the lack of communication and tight defense, the Martlets lapsed and allowed Suffield to notch a few goals in, keeping the game closer than it should have been. Westminster won almost every draw of the game, thanks to team- and season- high 10 draw controls from captain Blake Cote '19, but the Martlets struggled by turning the ball over up and down the field. Luckily, after turning the ball over, Westminster was gritty in the re-defend and on the 50/50 balls and was able to regain possession and capitalize on those wins. Westminster was up 10-5 at halftime and, again, scored three quick goals to start the second half. They found themselves in the same situation as the first half, though, allowing Suffield to stay in the game thanks to Martlet turnovers. In the end, Westminster did indeed come together to piece the strong draw controls, fluid transitions, and smarter shot selections to beat the home team 18-11. Georgia Nolan '20 led the Martlets with a team- and season-high five goals. Other offensive contributors were Ridgely Green '20 (3g, 2a), Ali Hatfield '20 (3g), Cote (2g, 2a), Casey Winslow '21 (2g), Sam DeLeo '21 (1g, 2a), captain Georgia Swank ’19 (1g) and Mikaila Lupoli '20 (1g). Defender Jenny Guider '20 was solid with essential caused turnovers and Ellie Bailey ’21 saved 13 of 24 shots.
