Team Win Against Hill
Westminster took the ice in its first home game against Hill School from Pennsylvania. The Martlets were excited to build on the good momentum from Dec. 4. The first period was back and forth as both teams tried to maintain pressure in the offensive end. Westminster forwards executed their forecheck perfectly, taking good angles and causing turnovers. While they couldn't transfer on a goal, it was a consistent period. The team took control in the first minutes of the second period as defenseman Sam DeLeo '21 intercepted a puck at center ice and went in one-on-one to send a top shelf shot over the shoulder of the Hill goalie. Just 90 seconds later, Casey Winslow '21 came through the neutral zone with speed and entered the offensive end wide. Winslow saw defenseman Abby Munger '20 jump in the play and sent a perfect pass across the top of the zone. Munger's shot hit the post, but Taylor Adams '20 swooped right in to bury the rebound and to put the Martlets up 2-0. Hill pushed back in the final minutes of the second period, but Westminster goalie Kayla Ireland '22 kept her team in it with some outstanding saves. The third period was back and forth yet again as Hill pressed the play. Westminster had to kill some penalties and thanks to some shot blocks by Jenny Guider '20, the Martlets kept the lead for the first half of the period. Hill would not be denied in even strength and snuck a goal in with just six minutes left. Westminster buckled down and kept things simple and in a simple, but beautiful play, Munger sent a lofting puck into the neutral zone to a cutting Hailey Tullo '22 who slide the puck into the empty net, securing the Westminster win with just 30 seconds left. It was a great team win as the players relied on their grit and grace till the final buzzer. The team looks forward to taking on Founders League rival Kent Wednesday.
