Box Score
MEDFORD, MA. - In their closest contest of the season, #1
Williams edged out conference opponent, Tufts, 1-0. The win
upped the Ephs' overall record to a perfect 10-0, while Williams
remains at the top of the conference standings with a 6-0
record. Tufts drops to 6-4 on the season, and are even
in NESCAC competition with a 3-3 record.
The Jumbos have struggled in October, posting a 1-3 record after
starting the season with undefeated play in September. After
suffering a tough loss to Keene State in a 5-4 result last weekend,
Tufts looked to bounce back. Playing the #1 squad in the
country was a tall order to take as the Ephs defense proved
impenetrable once again.
Despite the loss, Tufts held Williams to their lowest total of
shots all season long and to their lowest number of goals
scored in a single game. The Jumbos also managed to outshoot
the Ephs 13-6; only the second Williams opponent to accomplish such
a feat. Thirteen shots on goal are the most allowed by the
Ephs defense all season as well.
The Williams offense may have been lacking in comparison to
other games, but Sara Wild broke the scoring drought at the 37:21
mark off one of her signature boots. The lone goal proved to
be all Williams needed to secure the victory. Although the
Ephs defense allowed more shots on goal than usual, the Jumbos
could never convert it on the scoreboard. Williams'
goalkeeper Lauren Sinnenberg finally saw some challenges at net,
and was credited with four saves on the day in 90:00 minutes of
action.
Williams will travel to Colby for a 1:00 match up
tomorrow.
