Back on Track
After being kept out of the win column for two weeks, Second Girls’ Soccer got back on track with a good win against a strong Williston squad on Oct. 15. What the Wildcats lacked in numbers, they made up for in toughness and skill. Both teams showed a willingness both to possess the ball and to strike on the counterattack. The Martlets got on the board in the 11th minute on just such counterattack. Natalie Rubin ‘19 took a ball on the left flank and cut inside, sending a ball into the box intended for a cutting Susie Mahoney ‘20. Mahoney and the Williston keeper arrived at about the same time, and in the ensuing confusion the ball found its way into the net. Although the ball would be worked into dangerous positions at both ends, the half would end with just the one goal. The second half unfolded in a similar manner, with both teams threatening, although it became clear that playing with just two substitutes was taking its toll on the home side. With eight minutes left to play, a nice series of passes led to an Abby Davis ‘20 cross that Becca Gavel ‘18 got her head on to extend the Westminster lead to two, a much more comfortable margin, and one that would hold up. As she has been all season, Maddie Dwyer ‘18 was a rock at central defense, aided by strong play from Dallis Alvarez ‘18 and McKenzie Roller ‘20 who contained well on the outside. Ridgely Green ‘20 added a bunch of nice touches in midfield, Mahoney was frequently dangerous on attack, and Caroline McCausland ‘19 applied very effective pressure on the Wildcat defense. The girls will now have a week to get healthy and prepare for a Parents Weekend showdown with Kingswood.
