Box Score
WATERVILLE,
ME. – Playing away from Cole Field for the first time
all season long, the Williams women's soccer team (7-0, 3-0)
showed they play to win anytime, and anywhere, defeating conference
opponent Colby (1-3-1, 0-2-1), 3-0.
The win certainly did not come without a few
bumps in the road, as the Ephs were kept scoreless in the opening
half, tallying their first goal just mid-way into the second
period.
“I think it was different playing away
from home in that it took us a little while to settle into a
rhythm,” said Williams' head coach Michelyne
Pinard. “Colby
did a good job of disrupting our rhythm, but we did have some
chances in the first half and just could not
finish. It finally came in the second
half.”
Sarah Walmsley and Annelise Snyder teamed up
for a goal for the fifth time this season, with Snyder taking a
corner kick that Walmsley netted for the 1-0 lead at the 65:58
mark. Walmsley would
strike again just five minutes later at the 70:02 mark off a cross
from teammate Tyler Rainer to put the Ephs up to a more comfortable
2-0 lead.
Sachi Siegleman closed out the games offensive
production for the Ephs, scoring off a long ball in the final ten
minutes of play.
Chloe Kuh assisted on the goal.
Julia Schreiber is now 4-0 on the season,
playing for the first forty-five minutes. She recorded three
saves in today's win, while Lauren Sinnenberg came in to
close out the game in the second half, recording five saves. Loni Pisani of Colby had
16 saves in the loss.
Third-ranked
Williams will take on #16 Amherst on Saturday, October 3 at 1:30
p.m.
“We're all excited to have a full
week of training without game interruption to prepare f
or next weekend,” said Pinard.
