Short-Benched Martlets Fall to Avon

Rolling two and a half lines, Westminster put up another strong effort to the very final whistle against a fast and offensively potent Avon squad. The two teams played each other close in the opening minutes, with the Martlet Thirds playing some of its most disciplined defensive hockey all season, before an Avon tip-in from the point got past stout goalie Rich Mugler '22 to begin the onslaught. While Mugler and reformed defender, Ben Ferrell '21 — who was forced to step back into net after Mugler was unable to play the third due to illness — made several key stops throughout, the incessant Avon attack proved to be too much, scoring almost all of its goals off tip-ins and second opportunity chances in front. This is not to say the Martlets didn't generate chances of their own; Nic Swahn '22, Finn Gerry '20, Jack Kelly '22 and Kendrick Freeman '21 played particularly hard-nosed offensive hockey throughout despite ultimately coming up empty. The Martlets will rest up over break and hope for a better result Friday, as they take on Upland Country Day School at Jackson Rink.
