Martlets Beat Hoggers
On a warm and muggy day, the boys travel up north for a match against the Hoggers from Northfield Mount Hermon. The game was scoreless for the first 16 minutes. In the 17th minute, Ben Mihailovich ‘22 found Peter Miller ‘22 just outside the penalty box in the center of the field. Miller unleashed a beautiful shot to the lower right-hand corner of the goal to give the Martlets a 1-0 lead. Northfield answered quickly with a spectacular header off of a corner kick. The Hoggers added another goal to take a 2-1 lead. Spectacular defense by Alex Tonioni ‘22 and Jack Kelly ‘22 kept the score at 2-1 until Mihailovich ended up with a direct kick from 25 yards. He put it in the upper left-hand corner of the goal and the game was tied 2-2. Baker Morton ‘22 gave the Martlets a few more chances with some beautifully played balls from the midfield. The Hoggers held and the game was tied 2-2 at the break. Alex Unruh ‘22 took over in net and he used the wind to punt the ball 75 yards at the beginning of the second half. His ball found the right foot of Brian Opdenaker ‘21 and the Martlets led 3-2. After the Hoggers tied the game, Westminster played two minutes of the best soccer in the fourth team’s history. Niclas Swahn ‘22 served a ball down the line to Bennett Ostern ’21 who one-timed it to Miller who touched it to Mihailovich for the game winner.
