HARTFORD, CT—The Williams College men's soccer team
needed an extra period Sunday afternoon to defeat NESCAC opponent
Trinity College 1-0.
The Ephs scored three minutes into the first overtime period
when Gaston Kelly received a pass from Patrick Ebobisse and beat
the keeper to the far post. It was Kelly's 4th
goal of the year.
This marked the sixth overtime game for the Ephs (7-0-2, 4-0-2
NESCAC) this season, five of which have ended in a victory. The win
also preserves the Ephs undefeated season.
The game was highlighted by aggressive play from both sides. The

(4-4-1, 2-2-1 NESCAC) keeper Grant Schonberg, however, proved up to
the task with 6 saves on the day for the Bantams.
"He had one of the best individual performances I have
seen all year." said Coach Russo about Schonberg.
Trinity had 6 shots in the game, 4 of which came in the first
half. Andrew Lyons-Berg had 2 saves on the day for the Ephs.
Overall Russo was happy with the result of the game, and
