Westminster boys’ soccer regional began October 13. The team faced off against St. Martin de Porres. With no history of playing the opponent, the Warriors entered the game with little knowledge of what to expect.
After the game started, the anticipation continued to rise when St. Martin scored the first goal. However, Josh Beachler quickly stepped up with 2 goals, giving the warriors a 2-1 half time lead. Steven Hoeflich opened the second half with the third goal. St. Martin, however, quickly gained its second goal with a made penalty kick.
The game was 3-2, Warriors leading with 25 minutes to go. Beachler extended the lead with a penalty kick, followed by goals by Josh Sanders and Tim Rogers. The Warriors pulled through with a 6-2 victory and a positive start to the season regional.
When asked about how the first win, felt captain Luke Carani said that he simply felt, “relieved.” Josh Beachler and Steven Hoeflich added, “We play for God and everything else just falls into place.”
The Warriors play Elgin Academy at 11 a.m. this Saturday, Oct. 16, on the Westminster home field. Come and support the Warriors as their hunt for sectionals continues!
