There were several excellent performances across the field, but Junian Kim ‘26 stood out with several defensive moments highlighting his tenacity and awareness of the game. In one play, Junian was caught out of position and high up the field, but he recognized the danger and his responsibility to track back, Junian made a lung busting run to recover and nullify the threat to the Westminster goal. This victory was a true team effort and a deserved reward for their efforts in practice.
