Gritty Martlets Tie GA Gators
The Martlets traveled down to Greenwich to take on the Gators of Greenwich Academy Oct. 16. The recent history between these two teams indicated that this game would be a battle — and it was a true battle each minute of this contest. With forecasts predicting heavy rain and high winds, Westminster First Girls’ Soccer knew that this game would not only take skill and speed but mostly heart and grit. The weather did not stop the Martlets from playing hard, but GA put the pressure on all over and had many scoring opportunities in the first half that Westminster keeper Gabby Marcus ‘20 shut down. The game was scoreless into halftime with only some light rain and wind adding to the excitement. With the whistle to start the second half, however, the weather took a turn for the worse while the Martlets gained momentum. Eight minutes into the second half, Westminster drew a foul at the half. Marcus took the kick, sending the ball into the GA 18-yard box to find Priscilla Ameyaw ‘22 at the left corner of the box. Ameyaw controlled the ball and found Wheatley Sutro ‘22 in the center who then tipped it to Eliza Roach ‘21 who found the back of the net. The Martlets led 1-0 for just seven minutes before the Gators took advantage of a Westminster defensive lapse for the equalizer. The score remained tied 1-1 until the final whistle. The coaches are proud of the grit and heart the players exhibited during today’s game, from the bench to the field.
