Second Boys' Soccer Edges Trinity-Pawling with a Close Win

Second Boys' Soccer traveled to Trinity-Pawling and eked out a good 2-1 victory. The team started on the back foot after a long drive and had to defend against heavy pressure. Jonah Prentiss '22 was once again imperious in defense. Prentiss’ tireless running and electric pace alone would cause trouble for most attackers, but it is his reading of the game that makes him such an effective player. Prentiss gave the Trinity-Pawling attackers very little room to play and helped to protect the slim lead. Westminster grew into the game and started to possess the ball more consistently in the opponent's half. Peter Sanger '21 worked hard in attack and made some smart runs off the ball. Sanger has improved considerably in recent weeks and he should be proud of his work. The first goal for Westminster was an own goal forced by great pressure from Wylie Clarke '21. Clarke had another great game and pulled the strings in midfield. The second Westminster goal came deep into the second half when Finn Gerry '20 scrambled the ball into the net and past the Trinity-Pawling keeper.
