Nail-Biter Ends in Tie
In their last soccer match as Martlets, the Sixth Formers mustered all they could but ultimately had to settle with a bittersweet tie. Despite the outcome, spectators were undoubtedly entertained. With 17 seconds remaining in the first half, Nate Swift '19 kept the ball alive along the sideline, pitching it to Eugene Kim '19, who crossed it to Eddie Shin '21, who nearly mirrored his goal last game with a formidable finish past the Kent keeper, tying the game and sparking a second half surge. It was Kim's second goal of the season. Westminster went on to possess the ball during the next 40 minutes, scoring quickly after halftime when Carson Roth '19 chipped one into the top of the net, giving the Martlets the 2-1 lead. However, Kent answered when it poked one through the home team's defense after a scrum in front of the goal. The tie score would remain despite strong performances from defender Wes Oltsch '20 and midfielder Will Murphy '21. In the end, Westminster's Sixth Formers put on an especially fine, last ditch effort to finish their soccer careers victorious, turning many heads while doing so. The excitement during the last 10 minutes was palpable. For those few fleeting moments, Swift, Kim, Roth, Drew Brownback '19, Cameron Jury '19, Jackson Schopp '19 and Jeevan Palaniyandy '19 cemented their legacies in Third Boys' Soccer lore as they epitomized grit and grace while sporting black and gold.
