Westminster Beats Taft in OT
The Martlets turned in a fantastic game to beat the visiting Rhinos from Taft 11-10 in overtime April 24 on Hovey Field. Westminster found itself down three goals right off the bat thanks to a quick ones from Taft, but the team found its groove and inched back to make it a tight game, trailing only by two at halftime, 6-8. Westminster then turned it on, winning draws, coming up with great caused turnovers on defense, and placing beautiful shots to go on a four-goal run with 16 minutes left in the second half. Taft then had a four-goal run to tie it up with under four minutes left. With solid stops by defender Jenny Guider '20 and goalie Ellie Bailey '21 in the last seconds of regulation, the Martlets and the Rhinos headed into the sudden death overtime. Westminster found a way to win the draw thanks to captain Blake Cote '19. After a couple of seconds of possession to compose themselves in this epic battle, the Martlets looked to goal and Sam DeLeo '21 found the back of the net to solidify the 11-10 overtime win. Goal scorers for the Martlets were Jill Parsons '19 (1), DeLeo (2), Shannon Keefe '19 (3), Ridgely Green '20 (3) and Cote (2). Assists came from four different players. Meg Rittenhouse '20 was tremendous on defense with ground balls and Georgia Nolan '20 was essential in the midfield winning draws and ground balls for the home team. All Martlets, however, contributed to this team win over Taft. Westminster looks forward to hosting Deerfield on Saturday for the third home game this week.
