Fall Sports Highlights 11.18.19

Field Hockey - First Girls’
Nov. 13: Field Hockey - First Girls’ 1 vs. Deerfield Academy 0
Westminster, after winning the fourth seed in the NEPSAC A Class Tournament, hosted Deerfield (fifth seed). Despite winning the regular-season game 4 to 1, Westminster was not complacent and prepared as hard as possible for this match. The Martlets started very well, showing great energy and focus and winning seven corners in the first half. After 17 minutes, the Martlets scored and then proceeded to push hard with most of the momentum. After halftime, Deerfield really pushed, holding Westminster to only four corners and setting up six corners of its own. This displayed the shift in the momentum, and Westminster did superbly in defense and in goal to keep the score at 1-0 for the win. Jenny Guider '20 had a nice goal-line save, and KK Newton '20 soaked up seven of her eight saves in the second half. It really was a game of two halves. Westminster moves on to play Convent of the Sacred Heart (away) Saturday, Nov. 16, in the semifinal of the NEPSAC A Class Tournament.
 
Nov. 16: Field Hockey - First Girls’ 1 vs. Convent of The Sacred Heart 3 
The Martlets started very well, dominating the first few minutes of the game. A slight change in formation kept Sacred Heart under wraps, but the team scored after 20 minutes to go into halftime up by one goal. Westminster played hard and fought back well before conceding a second 10 minutes into the second half. Sacred Heart went up by three with 15 minutes left to play, but Westminster came back to make the final score 3 to 1. This concludes Westminster's fantastic season. The Martlets have a final record of 13 and 3 across all games, won the Founders League and also took the WNEPSFHA title, which includes all teams to the South and West of Deerfield Academy (DA included).
 
Soccer - First Boys’
Nov. 13: Soccer - First Boys’ 2 vs. South Kent School 7
Westminster was excited to be in the New England Playoffs for the first time in 10 years. The Martlets would go on the road as the eighth seed to face nationally ranked South Kent School on a frigid fall day. Even though the score was lopsided, the visitors would work hard throughout the entire game. A tough score to finish the year, however, this team has done so much in these last three months. Westminster started out in the U.K. for the first preseason trip overseas in team history, had a strong winning season and made its way into the New England Playoffs. All off the players should be proud of their efforts this fall.
