WILLIAMSTOWN, MA – Giving up all four goals in the third
period, the Williams women's ice hockey team lost to Trinity
College this afternoon by a score of 4-2. The Ephs drop to 1-12-2,
while the Bantams improve to 13-2-2 with the conference win.
The game remained scoreless until halfway through the second
period when sophomore Tracey Ferriter, assisted by junior Sam
Tarnasky, found the back of the net to put the Ephs up 1-0. Then at
16:11, first year Allison Page skated past Trinity's defense
to get a shot on goal. With Tarnaky connecting on the rebound, the
Ephs extended their lead to two. Although the Ephs picked up a
penalty at 19:16, sophomore goaltender Betsy Laurin made a great
glove save right before the buzzer to hold on to the Ephs' 2-0
lead.
Trinity quickly took advantage of Williams'
short-handedness, scoring less than a minute into the third period.
Kim Weiss netted the goal for the Bantams, sending the puck off the
left post and into the goal. She was assisted by Laura Komarek.
With the Ephs receiving another penalty, Trinity scored its second
goal at 2:37. When a shot to Laurin's left pulled her out of
position, Trinity quickly passed behind the net to Michelle Chee
who was waiting on the post. Scoring on the power play, Chee was
assisted by Britney McKenna and Kim Weiss. Less than 30 seconds
later, Williams sent yet another player to the penalty box. The
Bantams made good use of the power play, scoring at the 3:20 mark.
Following a scramble in front of the goal, Chee found the back of
the net to grab the lead for Trinity. McKenna picked up an assist
on the play. Seeming to regroup after a timeout, the Ephs allowed
only one more goal in the period. Hadley Gleason netted the final
goal for Trinity at 14:56 to bring the score to 4-2. This would
remain the final score of the game, as the Ephs failed to score
again.
Reflecting on the game, Coach Shannon Bryant said, “We
played a good, solid 40 minutes of hockey today. We are showing
ourselves that we're a good hockey team. We just need to play
a full 60 minutes.”
Playing particularly well for the Ephs this weekend were defenders
Joey Lye and Sarah Nowakowski and forward Torrey Taussig.
“Joey and Sarah have both been playing much more offensively
throughout the whole weekend and they certainly helped to create a
lot more offensive opportunities for us,” said Bryant. As for
Taussig, Bryant remarked, “Torrey was excellent this weekend.
She just elevated her play.”
The Ephs will travel to Bowdoin on Friday, February 1st for their
next game. The game will start at 7:00 pm.
