Fans Treated to High-Level Play

The Martlets tasted defeat for the first time this season, falling 1-0 to Choate Rosemary Hall. This was a very entertaining game between two strong teams. Each was committed to possessing the ball, and the fans were treated to a high-level of play. Although both teams’ defenses had to withstand some intense pressure, the first half ended scoreless. The first 15 minutes of the game saw back and forth play. As the teams settled in for a battle, the Martlets established a territorial advantage, generating more shots than the Boars, although most were from long range. The visitors came out a bit flat after half time, and the hosts made them pay. Several minutes of sustained pressure led to a dangerous cross, an inadequate clear, and the only goal of the game. Thereafter, the field was tilted decidedly toward Westminster’s attacking end, but the Choate defense was well organized and disciplined. Despite spending the vast majority of time in the attacking end, Westminster could generate only a few dangerous shots, and was unable to score an equalizer. In defeat, Eve Cathcart ‘20 stood out, managing to get the ball on her feet over and over again, attacking both centrally and along the flank, and Kate Lovas ‘18 played well in her first game in the starting lineup.
