Westminster Falls to Springfield Rifles in High-Scoring Affair
In the Martlets first game back from break, they faced off against a well-coached Springfield Rifles travel team. After going up 1-0 off an early breakaway finish from Azat Mukhametkulov ’19, the Springfield team fought back in seemingly unending waves, scoring three unanswered rebound goals. The boys from Westminster showed fight however, putting in a rebound of their own off the stick of Theo Vandervoorn ’20. Going into the break down 3-2, the night of heavy scoring was just getting started. After a few more opportunistic bounces going the Rifles’ way, Benno Wurts ’22 found the net himself for his first of the year to keep the team in it. Mere minutes later, Vandervoorn etched himself into the score sheet for his second of the game off an incredible diving effort on a loose puck in front, getting the Westminster team back within shooting distance with momentum heading into the break at 4-6. From there on out, unfortunately, it was all Rifles. Beck Winsor ’21, Owen Murphy ’22, Charlie von Stade ’21 and Finn Gerry ’20 gave interminable efforts through the final whistle. The proverbial game puck goes to goaltender Rich Mugler ’22 for stopping what was likely more than 40 pucks. The Martlets will travel to Salisbury School Saturday.
