Martlets Tie Rhinos
The return from winter break can be difficult, especially when the break is as long as the recent. Three days of practice just about got the Martlets up to speed, though, it would take about a period against Taft to remind Westminster what it means to play the competitive teams in this league. Westminster was playing down a few key contributors due to injury, and a few boys returned from break sick as well. Taft had already played two games since getting back to school last week and it showed in the first period. The Martlets struggled in their own zone, and took a few penalties as a result, giving Taft a 5-3 power play. Taft took advantage of the opportunity and jumped out to the 1-0 lead. The lead was short-lived. Ned Blanchard ‘20 corralled a puck at the blueline and found Wyatt Pastor ‘20 on the back side to tie it up. The second period was a tricky, with a few turnovers giving Taft the lead. However, Westminster had many opportunities that were stopped by Taft’s netminder. Jordie McKenna ‘19 cut Taft’s lead to one when he stole a puck inside the blueline and beat the goalie with an opportunistic deflection that went over the goalie and found the back of the net. Both teams had chances in the last few minutes, but only Malik Alishlalov ‘20 was able to score after picking up a loose puck in the left faceoff circle and firing it short side high to tie the game up. Neither team was able to capitalize in OT, and the game would end in a tie. A good first game back. Salisbury is up next.
