Rylan Williams ’16
Led by Sixth Formers Addison Cilmi, Taggart Corriveau, Rylan Williams, Brett Roenick, Ted Sirbaugh and Wonjune Kang, the First Boys’ Golf team had another successful campaign, finishing the season with a 22-2-1 record, a third-place finish in the Founders League Tournament and a seventh-place finish, out of 23 teams, in the annual Kingswood Invitational. With a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm, the Westminster Girls’ Golf Team stepped up to the tee and into the history books as the school’s first all-girl golf team. Building upon the legacy of the female golf “pioneers” who distinguished themselves on the First Boys’ Golf team in prior years, Westminster positioned itself to field a girls’ team of nine Martlets for the 2016 season. Coach Scott Stevens was honored and excited to be the team’s first coach.
Girls’ Golf Team
In the semifinal contest against Loomis Chaffee, Monroe pitched a gem, and the team played flawless defense to win 7-0. Crawley and Mackenzie Griffith ’17 had multiple hits in the game, while Samar and Ashlee White ’18 drove in key runs. In the championship game May 22, the Martlets faced Williston Northampton, which played very well and had a strong pitching effort to defeat Westminster 5-1. In a game featuring superb hurlers on both sides, the home team had difficulty manufacturing runs. Monroe turned in another gritty performance on the mound for the Black and Gold, while Griffith and Samar delivered hits to drive in a run. Samar completed her terrific season with exceptional work behind the plate. It was the last game for Westminster’s two outstanding senior captains, Crawley and McCausland. During their four years at Westminster, the softball team achieved an incredible record of 65 wins and three losses, and won three Class A Western New England Championships.
Emily Samar ’18
Monroe and Samar were named All-Western New England, and McCausland was selected to represent Westminster on the Western New England All-Star Team.
