Westminster Edges KO

Westminster opened the new year at home versus Founders rival Kingswood Oxford. The score did not convey how close the match was. The Martlets won two matches in five games. Had those swung to KO, the match would have been 3-4 the other way. Co-captains Khalil Walker '19 and Nate Swift '19 were the victors in those two swing matches. After co-captain Nate Londal '19 and No. 6 Sam Pagon '21 split matches in the first round, it wasn't clear which team would emerge with the edge. Walker fought back from a 1-2 deficit and put The Black and Gold squarely in the lead. Londal hung on for a 3-0 victory with a gritty 13-11 win in game three. In the second round, Alex Unruh '22 and Ethan Na '19 won in three games. Na was particularly efficient with many volley drops down into the nick. The most exciting match of round two, however, was Swift's. He led 2-0 and then was tied 2-2 before taking game five with a dominant display of hustle and determination. Swift moved as his name would suggest and played with a tactical sophistication heretofore unseen in his game. After the fifth game, he seemed to float off the court.
