Ephs Defeat the Spartans 2-0

Box Score MANCHESTER, VT – Williams College (1-1) scored 2 goals in the first half to beat Castleton University (1-3) 2-0 or their first win of the season.
The Ephs started strong with a corner kick in the first minute by junior Jaquelin Nordhoff, quickly followed by senior Emma Lynch sending the ball past the Spartan goalie at 1:35. With an early lead, Williams offense stayed in control with a total of 7 shots in the first 30 minutes. Junior Sam Phan scored off a penalty kick at 31:20, bringing Williams to 2-0.

In the 25th minute, a cross from Jaquelin Nordhoff to sophomore Meredith Tutun created an opening for a shot by Emma Lynch that was blocked by the Castleton defense. Williams defense kept the Spartans to 3 shots on goal, all well handled by first year goalkeeper Margaret Huelin.

"I appreciate the effort from all of our strikers, they never stop making those runs and opportunities for us," Eph head coach Sarah Raymond commented on her team's performance today. "Midfielder Tori Huang (sophomore) is amazing, she's everywhere. She's the reason we win and keep the ball in the middle and generates a lot of offense for us."

Sophomore Parker Harnett played the ball well to keep it in bounds in the 56th minute, allowing an Ephs offensive drive that ended with the Spartan goalie cutting off a strong pass by Emma Lynch. In the 77th, first year Brianna Wright jumped on the ball after a deflection off a Castleton defender, sending a solid shot that Castleton goalie Alex Benfatti dove far to the right to save.
 
Williams continued their momentum, ending the game with 20 total shots, 11 on goal. A strong showing from the Ephs in their first game in the College Cup, they will face Claremont Mudd Scripps tomorrow at 1:00pm.
