Martlets Rally for the Win
On a chilly autumn night, the boys traveled to Suffield to play on the turf and under the lights. The ball moves quickly on the turf and it took a little while for Westminster to figure out how to play its game. Alex Unruh ‘22 began the game in the net and had several good saves in the first half. Peter Barrett ‘22 had his best game as a Martlet on defense. Barrett stopped several Tiger chances. Midway through the first half, Suffield turned one of its chances into a goal. The half ended with Suffield ahead 1-0. Jack Schroeder ‘22 took over in goal for the second half. He was spectacular, including taking one right off of his nose late in the game. Westminster had much better pressure in the second half. Although the Martlets controlled the ball, it was Suffield once again who scored in the 43rd minute. The Tigers held 2-0 lead and things looked dire for the boys. Westminster knew that its relentless offensive pressure would eventually pay off. And it did. Peter Miller ‘22 had an open shot from just outside the box. The keeper was able to deflect it, but his deflection hit the right foot of Newt Cutler ‘22. Cutler put it home and the score was 2-1. Ten minutes later, Will Mell ‘21 crossed a ball into the mixer in front of the net. Brian Opdenaker ‘21 found the ball on his left foot and the score was tied 2-2. The energy of Westminster then took over for the final 10 minutes. In the 65th minute, Quinn Plumb ‘21 played a ball into space and to a speedy Unruh. Unruh beat a defender and then put the game winner passed the Suffield keeper. While not as sweet as a World Series victory, the boys were pretty excited when the final whistle blew.
