First Season in the Books
Fast, strong and aggressive, Hopkins pulled into the lead in the first minute of play with some outside strikes that caught Westminster off-guard. Showing impressive resilience, the Martlets hung around and continued to fight for positioning and possession. They maintained the shot clock better than in any game this season, gaining a shot on many possessions. Layton Harmon ‘21 opened the scoring for the Martlets, and followed with three additional goals to earn four on the day. He placed a skip shot into the top corner, catching the goalie by surprise. Jeremy Hopsicker ‘22 earned at least one goal in every game this season, and continued this trend against Hopkins, scoring late in the game. Shane Wahlberg ‘19 finished out his first season of water polo, and his leadership and goaltending will be missed next fall.
In this, the final game of their first season, the Martlets looked like a much more organized, capable and experienced squad than in early September. Looking at a postseason bid, Hopkins, like many other teams this group faced this season, is one of the top teams in New England. Though difficult to compete consistently against teams of this caliber, the experience gained through these matches will be invaluable next fall.
