SANTA BARBARA, CA - Sophomore Chessie Jackson scored a game-high
28 points Monday as the Williams College women's basketball team
knocked off Worcester State College, 79-70, in a game held at the
University of California-Santa Barbara.
The Ephs improved to 3-5 on the season. They will face Eastern
Connectiocut State tomorrow at UCSB at 2 p.m. PST.
Jackson's 28 points led the Ephs, but she had plenty of help as
first-year forward Lisa Jaris scored 14 points, as did senior guard
Mika Peterman.
The Ephs led by seven at halftime and by as many as 12 in the
second half, only to watch as the Lancers rallied to cut the
deficit to three at 73-70 down the stretch. Williams iced the game
from the foul line however, sinking 17 of 21 attempts from the
charity stripe.
"I thought our defensive effort was very good," Ephs head coach
Pat Manning said. "And we rebounded well. Offensively, we were
really emphasizing our inside game. We thought we could be
effective and we were. "
