Head coach Chris Mason was pleased with her
teams play despite the loss. “Both teams
played really well today. We had great settled
defense and Schreiber played well making some especially key saves
in the second half.”
Mason also commended Sara du Pont for
excellent play in her final game. “Sara
had an awesome game.
She was great on draw control and lose balls, and really
contributed to the offense with her two goals and assist.”
Even with the loss, the Ehps ended their
season on a high note. The team was 4-3 in the
last two weeks of the season, taking down Trinity who won the third
seed in the NESCAC tournament.
The Ephs would also like to commend the team's
five seniors: Sara du Pont, Sara Adkins, Lauren Kennedy, Allison
Murray, and Stephanie Hsiung. Their hard work
and dedication to the team over their Williams career will be
missed.
