Martlets Fall to Wild Boars
The Martlets made the trip to Wallingford to play perennial rival Choate in a late afternoon Wednesday tilt. Unfortunately, and despite outplaying the hosts for good stretches, the Seconds continued to struggle to find the back of the net. Outshooting the Wild Boars 27-19, the team could not solve the riddle of the capable Choate keeper and tallied only a single goal on the afternoon. That goal came early in the third period when Xander Cardia '21 carried the puck from neutral ice into the far Choate corner before cutting back towards the net and slipping a perfect pass to linemate David Harris '21, who deftly snapped the puck home under the crossbar. The play made the score 1-2 and wasn't the only good chance the Martlets had during the game, but it was the only one that the Black and Gold finished. Choate had jumped to the lead midway through the first period when a bad Martlet line change led to an odd-man break against Westminster goalie Will Scott '20; Choate added a second goal in the second period when a shot from the point ricocheted off several players before bounding past Scott. On the day, Scott played his usual solid game, notching 17 saves overall. Special mention goes to the team's core of defensemen: Nate Stevens '21, Rex Flinn '21, Keegan Bankoff '22, Sawyer von Jess '22 and Jack Rockefeller '23. The D-men had their best game of the season, controlling the puck and jumpstarting the Martlet attack. Overall, the coaches were very pleased with the team's improvement: the boys played their first complete game of the season, competing hard in all three zones and outworking their opponents consistently. Lots to be proud of, despite the loss, and the team will get back to work tomorrow to prepare for cross-town rival Simsbury High School at home on Friday.
