WILLIAMSTOWN, MA- With five goals and two
assists from Ephs junior Whitney Thayer, Williams women's
lacrosse (3-1, 1-1 NESCAC) dominated the RPI Red Hawks (3-1) with a
final score of 13-6.
RPI was first on the board with a free
position shot from Stephanie Caouette less than a minute into the
game. Williams
answered back with two goals from Thayer and one from senior Julia
Nawrocki in the next six minutes. After a period
of settled attack, Thayer scored her third goal at 17:08.
Sam Fennessy score for the Red Hawks to bring
the score to 4-2 at 12:07, but Thayer responded quickly with an
unassisted goal less than a minute later. After
another goal for both teams, Ephs finished the half on a high note
with a goal from senior Britt Spackman at 0:53, and ended the half
up 7-3.
Williams came out strong in the second half,
putting three more points on the board before RPI was able to score
at 18:56. However the
Ephs, weren't done. Spackman, Sophomore Anne Marie Burke, and
freshman Taylor Fleishhacker all scored unassisted goals before the
game was out.
RPI played strong to the end, scoring two
goals after their time out with 3:45 left in the game. The game
ended 13-6 with the advantage to the Ephs.
Sophomore goalkeeper Julia Schreiber played
the first 48 minutes for the Ephs, making six
saves. Freshman Kate Foley finished in the net
for Williams, making no saves, but recovering two ground
balls. Ariana Hood
played all 60 minutes for the Red Hawks, making twelve saves.
Ephs head coach Chris Mason credited RPI for
strong play and was happy with her team's
performance. “We were patient today, and
waited for good feeds on offense. They were a
good and fast team, but we played well
together.” Mason noted that senior Lizzy
Burns' presence on defense and Thayer's deceptiveness
on offence were invaluable.
The Ephs next game is away against NESCAC
rival Tufts on Saturday the 21st at 12:00 pm.
