Unprecedented Comeback Falls Short
Westminster trailed 29-51 at the half, mostly due to sluggish defense; however, after convening in the locker room, the Martlets soared back during the next 14 minutes. Canterbury went cold from outside the arc, Westminster boxed out, and on offense the Black and Gold played patient enough to see many open shots and lanes. The Martlets cut Canterbury's 22 point lead to just one with about two minutes left. After gaining possession, they needed to just cherish one more chance, wait for the best scoring opportunity and take it, but a turnover then a foul put Canterbury into the bonus, where it capitalized on its opportunities from the free throw line. Despite the loss, Westminster can be proud of its comeback, not to mention the last three games as a whole, where the team lost in overtime, won another nail-biter and now almost did the impossible. Baker Morton '22 led all scorers with 20 points. Jack Darnowski '23 scored a season-high 12 points, Ben Mihailovich '22 chipped in his usual 11 points with eight rebounds, Cooper Kistler ’22 added 11 points with five rebounds, and Roman Mitchell '20 and Tommy Cramer '23 contributed five points apiece. Boniface Fatohou '23 added four points and much needed spark off the bench. The Martlets play their fifth game in eight days when they host Wilbraham and Monson Saturday.
