Westminster Falls to Strong Loomis Squad

First Girls' Soccer headed to Loomis Chaffee for an evening under the lights against one of the most talented squads in the Founders League. The Martlets met the Pelicans a month ago for a scrimmage and their growth and development since then was evident in their play for the 80-minute contest. The Martlets were down by one just four minutes into the first half, but they battled and challenged the Loomis defense and midfield with opportunities to equalize throughout the half. Despite a few shots on goal, the Martlets found themselves down 0-2 at half — down, but not out. Westminster continued to commit to its system of play, working the ball in and out of the midfield and center back Jaclyn Laplante '20 turned in a brilliant game, frustrating the Loomis attack countless times. The final score, 0-3, shows that Loomis was a strong squad and played a great game, but it also shows the Martlets of First Girls' Soccer continue to get better with each game and practice and they look forward to heading to Hotchkiss on Wednesday for another Founders League match up.
