SCORE
CAMBRIDGE,
MA––Williams
(7-4/NESCAC 3-3) extends its winning streak to four in a row with
today's victory over MIT (7-4). After a give-and-take first
half, Williams pulled ahead in the second half for a 12-5
victory.
Freshman Sam Weinstein, with help from sophomore Katie
Ellis, got the Eph offense rolling 30 seconds into the game. MIT
responded seven minutes later, but Kaitlin Ellis and Whitney Kelly
each netted a goal to bring the score to 3-1. MIT was able to sneak
another goal past Julia Schreiber before sophomores Taylor
Fleishhacker and Meera Sivalingam and senior Tracey Ferriter put
three more away. MIT scored one more goal before the close of the
half, but junior Anne Marie Burke scored off of a feed from Ellis
to put in Williams' final goal of the half. The score at
halftime was 7-4 in the Ephs favor.
MIT opened the second half with a goal, but Weinstein and
Ellis combined to score two more goals. The Engineers scored their
fifth, and final, goal of the game with 22:46 left in the game. The
Ephs finished the game on a strong note, with Ellis and Sivalingam
netting one more each, and Margie Fulton scored the last goal with
an assist from Ferriter.
Head Coach Chris Mason said “We played well. Having
games back-to-back is always a challenge and we did a good job. We
moved the ball well, moving it up field nicely, and we had some
nice goals. Their goalkeeper played very well and they had a strong
offense, so our defense had to play well. Katie Ellis had a
particularly good game, and she has been turning it on lately. She
works really hard through the midfield and moves the ball well.
It's really nice that our scoring is so spread out, we have a
lot of players who can take the ball to the net.”
Williams returns to NESCAC play on Saturday when they
travel to Wesleyan to take on the Cardinals 12pm.
