More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend. |

Ephs close out unbeaten regular season; defeat Middlebury, 1-0Williams Sports Info - November 03, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass – It was not the best ninety minutes of play that women’s soccer has put together this season, but it was enough for the Ephs to close out the regular season unbeaten for the second consecutive year.
Williams (13-0-1, 8-0-1) used an early goal to defeat conference opponent Middlebury (7-4-2, 6-3-0), 1-0, and send their six seniors—Clare Gallagher, Caitlin Colesanti, Brit Spackman, Gabrielle Woodson, Hannah Ratcliffe, and Lauren Garcia—out with a victory on Senior Day, 1-0.
Jacqueline Russo fought for a long ball in front of the goal box, and aimed a perfectly placed header to teammate Sara Wild. The Eph sophomore flicked the ball to a charging Wild on her left, who ripped a shot too hard for the Middlebury goalie too handle.
The goal at the 5:13 mark would be the only offense of the contest. Although the Ephs rattled off 10 shots in the first half, a 15-4 shooting advantage did not translate to further goals.
“We [Williams] started strong, but Middlebury is an organized team,” said Ephs head coach Michelyne Pinard. “They are a tough team to get behind, and that showed today. The emotions of the seniors’ last regular season game showed a bit. We had moments of brilliance, but not ninety minutes of it.”
The Panther’s goalkeeper Lauryn Torch recorded 8 saves, while being tested considerably by a formidable Williams front. Ephs keeper Lauren Sinnenberg, while only recorded 1 saves on the afternoon, displayed incredible composure in the minutes of play where the rest of the team lagged a bit.
The Ephs will begin post-season play on Sunday when they host Colby in the first round of the NESCAC tournament. Williams will play as the #1 seed. Game time is set for 12:30 on Cole Field.
One might assume it to be pressure-laden post-season for the #1 ranked team in the nation, but Pinard believes differently.
“There is pressure in the post-season regardless, because you win or go home” continued Pinard. “There is another level of urgency to every game.” |
