SANTA BARBARA, CA -- It was a heartbreaking ending to a trip out
west Tuesday for the Williams College women's basketball team.
The Ephs hung tough against Eastern Connecticut and appeared a
mere five seconds away from victory. But EConn tied the game, the
Ephs missed a chance for the win as time expired and the Warriors
eventually walked away 79-73 victors in overtime.
Williams (3-6) plays again Saturday at 8 p.m. against the
University of Maine-Farnington.
"We took a lot of positives from today's game," Ephs head coach
Pat Manning said. "This was definitely our toughest opponent to
date and we responded with our best effort of the season."
Senior Mika Peterman led all the Ephs with 19 points, while
Chessie Jackson netted 17, first-year guard Jill Greenberg 16 and
first-year Kelsey Ham nine. Manning added that first-year forwards
Lisa Jaris and Ana Rodriguez-Villa played well in defeat.
The Ephs jumped out to a 14-7 lead but trailed at halftime,
40-31.
