Martlets Battle Wild Boars to 1-1 Tie
The Seconds welcomed Choate to a late afternoon tilt at Jackson rink. In December the Martlets had fallen to the Wild Boars 1-2 and the team was looking forward to the rematch. Goalie Will Scott '20 was the first star of the game, posting 28 saves and anchoring the defense throughout the contest. The Choate goalie was equal to the challenge, turning aside 25 Martlet shots and withstanding a Westminster surge in the third period. Though off to a slow start, the Martlets managed to get on the board first at the six-minute mark of the first period when Will Rizzo '21 picked up a loose puck just inside the Choate blue line and beat his man to the outside before circling around the Choate net and tucking the puck underneath the keeper's left pad. The Wild Boars didn't wait long to get the game back to even, however, as only three minutes later a Choate defenseman through a shot from the point through a maze of legs and sticks in front of Scott. The puck somehow snuck between Scott's legs, knotting the game at 1-1. The game was a back-and-forth affair from that moment forward, with both teams generating consistent pressure in their opponent's end and demanding strong play from both keepers. As the game wore on, however, the Martlets began to play a more gritty, up-tempo, and consistent game and had the balance of the puck possession and offensive zone time in the third period — but to no avail. Despite a five minute OT frame, during which both teams had to kill off a penalty, the game ended in that same 1-1 tie. Overall, the coaches were pleased with the team's overall efforts. Looking ahead to Wednesday's rematch with Loomis at home, the team will work on keeping the offense simple and getting the puck to the net.
