NEW LONDON, CT--The Ephs (14-5, 4-0) finished their road trip in
style Saturday, running the Connecticut College Camels (9-8, 0-4)
out of their own gym by a score of 85 to 53. Williams found
their shooting strokes once again in knocking down 16
three-pointers in the win.
"What a difference a day makes," said Williams' coach Mike
Maker, whose Ephs responded from a 1-20 three-point shooting
performance yesterday in a win over Wesleyan to shoot 52% (16 of
31) from long range today.
The Camels never really had a chance, as the Ephs out scored
them 45-29 in the first half, and 40-24 in the second.
Eph-leading scorer Blake Schultz (Atherton, CA) netted a
career-high 32 points in the victory on a marksman's 8 for 13 from
three-point range. Second-leading scorer and co-captain Kevin
Snyder (Littleton, CO) was also deadly from beyond the arc, hitting
5 for 5 and scoring 21 points in the contest.
"You can't live and die by the three point shot, and that's not
our intention," said Coach Maker, "but we're good shooters and when
we're open we gotta let it fly."
Dean Lampe and Shavar Bernier led the attack for the home
Camels, scoring 15 and 11 points respectively, but Connecticut as a
team struggled from the field - especially from three-point
land. The Camels were held to 43% shooting on the night
including a 2 for 14 showing from downtown.
The game dropped the Camels to the bottom of the NESCAC
standings at 0-4 while propelling the Ephs to a tie at the top with
Middlebury at 4-0. Williams will travel to Middlebury on the
thirty-first for their next game. Said Maker:
"We're going to do what we always do [in preparation for a
game], we're going to try to get better and focus on what we're
doing. It should be an extra benefit not having a midweek
game this week so we can have a solid week of practice."
Game time for the Ephs match up with Middlebury is set for 2:00
pm, January 31st.
