WILLIAMSTOWN, MA – In a cold and
blustery game, Ephs women's lacrosse (1-1, 0-1 NESCAC) beat
MIT (0-2) 17-6. Ephs
offense was relentless with, seniors Julia Nawrocki and Brit
Spackman, juniors Tina Nawrocki and Whitney Thayer, and freshman
Taylor Fleishhacker all scoring hat tricks.
Williams started strong with Spackman and both
Nawrockis scoring before MIT put a point on the board with a goal
from Lynne Tye at 20:02. After unsuccessful
settled attack from both sides, Williams' Fleishhacker broke
through the MIT defense twice in a row to bring the score to
5-1.
Both teams were successful in the last 10
minutes of the first half. Ephs' Thayer,
Julia Nawrocki, Tina Nawrocki, Spackman and Fleishhacker all
scored, and both Tye and Erica Little found the net for
MIT. The half finished with Williams up 10-3.
MIT took advantage of a yellow card that left
the Ephs down a man to start the second half.
They scored two goals before the card
expired. Ephs answered back with goals from
junior Quinn Sanborne-Bruggemann and Julia
Nawrocki.
Casey Flynn scored MIT's last goal of
the game at 23:49. However, Williams offense was
not finished. Thayer, Spackman, and Tina Nawrocki rounded out their
hat tricks, and freshman Margie Fulton put one on the board for the
Ephs to win the game with a score of 17-6.
Ephs head coach Chris Mason was pleased with
her team's play. She said, “I was really
happy with how we moved the ball today, and our defense played
well.”
In addition to the Ephs' strong offense,
freshman Meera Sivalingam played particularly well for Williams on
defense. Sophomore goalie Julia Schreiber made 6 saves for the Ephs
while MIT keeper Molly McCartin stopped 12.
The Ephs next game is away against NESCAC
opponent Bates College this Saturday, March 12, at noon.
