Soccer (Varsity)
vs. Wilbraham & Monson Academy

On Wednesday afternoon, Walker’s varsity soccer team hosted Wilbraham & Monson in a tough contest. The home side came out a little flat-footed, and Wilbraham took advantage, earning a 3-1 victory on the day.

The visitors got on the scoreboard three minutes after the opening kickoff when a chip snuck under the crossbar for an early lead. Sophie Martinelli ’25 responded for the home team with her team-leading sixth goal of the season. She created her own chance and ripped the shot into the back of the net to tie the game at one piece midway through first-half action.

Wilbraham scored in the 31st minute though, to take the lead into halftime and then doubled their advantage with 15 minutes left in the second half to come away with the 3-1 win. On the day, Jenna Hamel ’25 recorded 12 saves for Walker’s.

Ethel Walker will host Cheshire Academy on Saturday, October 15, in their next game. The kick-off is scheduled for 12:00 p.m.
