contributed to the victory. The Ephs won 22

7.
Williams head coach Chris Mason was pleased
with her team's play. “We were
excited about the last minute game as we only scheduled it last
Thursday,” said Mason. “We knew they
were a good team because they beat MIT and Connecticut College
earlier in the season, but we had great
pressure. It was good to see the intensity of
practice brought into the game.”
Mason was also particularly pleased with
Schreiber's goal keeping and Murray's offensive play:
“Schreiber played great, and it was a great day for Allison
Murray.”
The Ephs next contest is Thursday April,
17th at 7:00pm against Skidmore College on Lamb
field.
