Williamstown, MA-- Nationally Ranked Trinity College (8-0) had a
2-0 shutout victory against Williams College (4-4) in a
consistently contested game by each team Saturday afternoon at
Renzie Lamb Field.
As the launch of the annual fundraising initiative for breast
cancer, “Play 4 the Cure,” both the Williams College
Ephs and Trinity College Bantams constantly tested eachother and
played strong offensive and defensive games. Entering the game with
a 7-0 record and as a nationally ranked team for the first time in
10 years, the Bantams scored on their first shot of the game
mid-way through the first period by sophomore Robyn Williams
(Bulawayo, Zimbabwe).
Trinity had 2 more shots on goal in the first period each saved by
Williams sophomore goalie Katrina Tulla (New Canaan, Conn.). In the
first, Trinity had a total of three penalty corners to Williams one
penalty corner. Senior Julia Nawrocki (Winchester, UK) had Williams
lone shot on goal for the first period.
The second period unfolded similarly to the first with continual
contesting by both teams. Robyn Williams delivered Trinitys second
goal of the afternoon near the end of the second period off a
rebound save by Katrina Tulla. Williams College had three shots for
the second, one being off of one of three penalty corners for the
period. Trinity College had no penalty corners for the second, but
3 shots on goal.
Trinity freshman goalie Gina DiNallo (West Hartford, Conn.) had a
shutout game with 3 saves and no goals scored. Katrina Tulla had 5
saves for the afternoon.
Williams Coach Alix Rorke felt that her team had “an evenly
played game with good communication, good passing, but need to keep
practicing because (they) just didn't click today.” For
the Ephs, sophomore Alice Bearn (Bethlehem, PA) served as a great
offensive spark for the team, while senior Jess Overlander (New
Canaan, Conn.) put in a good defensive effort.
Eph field hockey will play again at home against Wesleyan on
Saturday, October 11 at 12:00 PM.
