Martlets Win in OT Thriller

The Martlets traveled to Northfield Mount Hermon to take on the Hoggers in a thrilling back-and-forth game. The Martlets came out strong and got on the board first within the first three minutes, but the Hoggers replied with two of their own in the next two minutes. Eventually, Westminster maintained a one-goal lead after trading off leading throughout the first half, but the score was even again at 4-4 going into half time. Captain Georgia Swank '19 was essential on defense helping with transitions to the offense, but Westminster struggled to capitalize on each opportunity, turning over the ball on its offensive end. The Martlets entered the second half with the goal of smarter passes and smarter shots given the even and competitive game. At the start of the second half, captain Blake Cote '19 won the first draw and took it straight to the back of the NMH net to take the lead. But NMH answered quickly and then the back-and-forth one-goal differential continued until the home team took the lead with five minutes to go. The Hoggers did well to kill time, but captain Susie Renehan '19 caused a turnover and started the transition that would tie the game. The ball transitioned up the field to Ridgely Green '20 who then found Ali Hatfield '20 who scored the goal to tie it up at 8-8 with just six seconds on the clock. The teams then went into sudden death overtime with the need to win the ensuing draw and take control of the first three-minute overtime period. Cote won the draw and found Shannon Keefe '19 who scored the game-winning goal and the Martlets beat the Hoggers 9-8 in a thrilling overtime road game.
