Martlets Tie Pelicans
Looking to capitalize on a good week of practice at Jackson Rink, the Martlets boarded the bus for Pawling, N.Y. Saturday to play Trinity-Pawling. The Martlets started the game firing on all cylinders, scoring twice in the opening frame. After the first goal, TP was on its heels. Westminster made high percentage plays and good decisions with the puck, driving the Pelicans into their zone and keeping the pressure on their goaltender. Scoring a second goal captured the momentum for Westminster, but the pace and consistency dwindled heading into the second frame. TP scored late in the second period to bring the game within one before heading into the locker room for the second intermission. The Martlets came out swinging in the third, and punched home another tally to take a 3-1 lead. TP kept the pressure on, and they were able to capitalize on momentary lapses in effort and attention to detail. Effort plays were needed, and the inability to move the puck out of dangerous areas consistently led to TP’s opportunities in the third period. TP would score two in the third period, the last of which came with 19 seconds remaining after pulling its goalie. Westminster was unable to move the puck out of the zone, and to TP’s credit, it kept the pressure on and scored on a pass to the backdoor. Despite the tie, Westminster played well, creating many grade-A opportunities that just needed a little puck luck, and perhaps a redoubling of effort to bang the puck home. There’s lots to build upon heading into a busy January with Taft heading to campus Wednesday.
