This past Sunday the Westwood girls U10 team won the Middlesex Yankee Conference League Championship game against a tough Belmont team, 3-2 in overtime. The game was an absolute thriller from start to finish with excellent hockey skills displayed by both teams.
All three Westwood goals (including the dramatic overtime winner) were scored by Samantha (Sammy the Sniper) Nelson, who was impossible to stop all game long. Erin (Ms. Zero) Fallon was spectacular in goal, turning aside multiple breakaways and shots and keeping Westwood in the game. Every girl on the team gave all they had and played their best games of the season.
Stingy defense was provided by Simone Greenberg, Frankie DeVingo, Caroline Grady and Katherine Keith. The defense did an excellent job of keeping Belmont hemmed in their own end throughout the game.
The high-powered offense was generated by Emily Dukeman, Catherine Maughn, Jinah Cappuccino, Colleen Dalton, Leah Piscatelli, Bridget Goss, Katelin McInnis and Sammy Nelson. The offense kept the assembled crowd buzzing, firing shot after shot on Belmont's goalie.
The girls were rewarded with a trophy ceremony and a victory lap around the ice as "We Are the Champions" was played.
Coach Steve Fallon and his loyal assistants wish to thank all the girls for a fantastic year and for their high energy, great effort, and tremendous personalities.
