Westminster Martlets and the Blustery Day
The gales of November came early to Williams Hill, as the boys battled a formidable group of Knights from Western Connecticut. Salisbury scored late in the first half and took a 1-0 lead into the break. Westminster answered when Max Hong '22 found Newt Cutler '22 and Cutler put it past the Knight keeper. While the game remain tied throughout the second half, Westminster had many chances. With just 40 seconds left Baker Morton '22 served a spectacular corner kick in front of the goal and it found the foot of Quinn Plumb '21. Once again, the ‘Plumber’ came through. Thirty seconds later, when the final whistle blew, the Martlets soared to a 2-1 victory. Bennett Ostern '21 was a stone wall in goal for the first half. Peter Barrett '22 and Cooper Organ '21 provided the stone wall on defense and held the Knights off for most of the half. The second half began with great pressure by the Martlets. Brian Opdenaker '21 had several crossing passes that just missed the feet of the footless birds. Kade Smith '22 controlled the center of the field and played his best game as a Martlet. Finally, the Westminster pressure proved too much for the Knights and the team surrendered. Morton missed an open net late in the game. He made up for it with a bending corner kick that went through the mixer and ended up on the right foot of Plumb. Plumb put it home and the crowd erupted. The boys finish their season at Indian Mountain School on Wednesday. Unlike that famous boat, however, these boys will definitely make Whitefish Bay.
