Williamstown, MA—Skidmore senior Chelsea
Lisaius scored the game-winner on a rainy Renzie Lamb Field Tuesday
night as the Thoroughbreds edged Williams, 4-2. The Ephs fell to
7-6 overall with the non-conference loss while Skidmore upped its
record to 11-4.
The Ephs started the game strong, with junior Julia Nawrocki
scoring the first goal of the evening with 26:33 left in the first
half off a rebound. Skidmore's Christine Kemp answered with 24:31
left in the first half, scoring from a pass by Elise Britt.
Williams then regained the lead when Amy Siedlecki scored, assisted
by Taylor Wilson-Hill, with 21:52 left in the half. Skidmore tied
up the period, with Shaila Delea scoring from Katie Potter with
11:40 left in the half.
Skidmore took control of the second half, piling up the shots and
scoring opportunities. Chelsea Lisaius scored, assisted by Casey
Tang with 22:35 off a penalty corner. Skidmore added an insurance
goal with 6:10 left in the game; Shaila Delea scored her second
goal of the game, assisted by Christine Kemp.
Skidmore Freshman, Liz Catinella, played all 70 minutes for the
Thoroughbreds, racking up 7 saves. Sophomores Lindsay Jones and
Bethany Baker split time in goal for the Ephs. Jones made 3 saves
and Baker made 4. The Ephs had 10 penalty corners to Skidmore's
4.
The Ephs performance seemed to decline throughout the game. "This
was the best start we've had all season", said head coach, Alix
Rorke. "Skidmore was extremely fast and we were hesitant", she
said.
The Ephs are looking forward to this weekend's home game against
long time rival, Amherst College, at 11a.m. on Renzie Lamb Field.
"We love the rivalry…it'll be a huge battle", said coach
Rorke.
