A Total Team Effort

As Malcolm Kleban '20 sprinted towards the Martlets’ bench in the waning minutes of the game, Ryan Szykowny '18 jumped the boards as the sixth attacker. With the Martlet net empty, the Chiefs turned the puck over at neutral ice, and Szykowny scooped it up and initiated what would be Westminster's final counter attack of regulation. Entering the zone, Szykowny deftly eluded several defenders before sliding a nice pass to Josh Cosentino '18 whose heavy wrist shot found daylight between the tender's pads. With the score tied at 4-4, the Martlets suddenly had new life and entered the overtime stanza with energy and focus. Several shifts later and following some fierce fore-checking, the puck bounced to Willie Noble '20 in the high slot who used traffic in front to create a screen and rocket his shot over the goalie's blocker to seal the victory. This game was fast-paced and exciting from the opening whistle as the Martlets had to match a young team of solid players, already 35 games into its season. During the course of this contest, the Martlets three-goal lead had very leading staying power as the Chiefs responded with four unanswered goals and appeared to be ready to notch another victory, one ultimately that the Martlets would deny. Cosentino led the scoring with two, SK Lee went one, one, and both Grant Noble 18 and Willie Noble ' 20 contributed goals to the effort. All the blueliners -- Jackson Schopp'19, Lee, Szykowny, Aidan Wood '20 and Wes Oltsch '20 -- anchored what was a team win to be sure. Both goalies played well and made some key saves throughout the game. Next up Rumsey on Wednesday.
