A Good Contest

The Martlets hosted Salisbury for round two Feb. 11, concluding their home and away matchup. The game was a good one from the start with both teams managing a short bench due to injuries and sickness. Unlike the first tilt in Salisbury, the Martlets came out with a good compete level, eager to even up the season matchup. Both teams played up tempo in the first period, and Will Scott '20 made some beautiful saves, especially when Salisbury was right on his doorstep. Salisbury struck first and that was how stanza number one concluded. Salisbury tallied another early in the second before the Martlets struck with a highlight reel goal on a nifty backdoor pass from Jack Murdock '19 to a streaking Carson Roth '19, who roofed a wrist shot that sent the Salisbury net minder's water bottle flying. Salisbury would come roaring back on a well executed two on one and a snipe to the far side. Westminster's defensive corps of Jackson Schopp '19, Willie Noble '20, Aidan Wood '20 and Wes Oltsch '20 were outstanding all day long, neutralizing some large fast Salisbury forwards and effectively managing the defensive zone. Noble would strike when the Martlets needed one most with a quick, low shot from the point on a slick pass from Mason Horrigan '18 who won a key battle in the corner. Both Scott and Malcolm Kleban’s '20 play was outstanding, and when the Martlets pulled Kleban late in the game, two Martlets entered the fray, but to no avail and ultimately a penalty in the final four seconds for too many men on the ice. A good contest leading into some key games next week.
