In a hard-fought battle against NASSA last Saturday, the Westminster Warriors faced a challenging matchup on the road, resulting in an 87-74 loss. Despite the setback, the Warriors displayed exceptional performances from their top scorers, Justin Hitchman and Kevin Kolesnikovas, who both contributed a remarkable 20 points each. The standout highlight for the Warriors was Kolesnikovas’ impeccable shooting, with his accuracy shining brightly on the court.

On Saturday, the Westminster Warriors faced off against the London Stars at home, and it was a showdown to remember. The Warriors secured a convincing 87-70 win, with top scorer Justin Hitchman leading the charge, amassing an impressive 29 points.

Game 2: Westminster Warriors vs. Cardiff Met Archers

The second game took place at Capital City Academy, and it was a wild ride. The Warriors locked horns with the Cardiff Met Archers, and the match ended in heartbreak for the home team with a score of 95-94. The game witnessed relentless back-and-forth action, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Nathan Ashley made a clutch three-pointer that briefly put the Warriors up by 1. However, in a dramatic turn of events, a crucial foul on a 3-point attempt in the dying seconds cost the Warriors the game. Flagherty, the standout player for the Cardiff side, calmly converted two of his three free throws to secure the Archers’ victory. Lukas Volskis was the Warriors’ top scorer, delivering an outstanding 24 points, including an impressive number of three-pointers.

Coach Mo Laribi shared his insights on the weekend, stating, “This weekend has been truly insightful as we competed against two very different but competitive teams.
