Williams Wins Season Opener at Wesleyan, 1-0 - September 10, 2007
MIDDLETON, Conn. - Williams women’s soccer recorded a 1-0 victory against NESCAC foe Wesleyan in this morning’s season opener. The Ephs’ lone goal came off the foot of junior Gabrielle Woodson who was fed the ball from the right side by sophomore Brianna Woolfson, but any offensive momentum was certainly hard to come by against a solid Cardinals squad.
Williams’ head coach Michelyne Pinard, in her fifth year manning the team, said “This was the best Wesleyan team we have ever played against. They are incredibly organized and work really hard, and they gave us a lot of problems in the midfield today.”
The Williams squad faced a confident Cardinals team who believed that 19 returning players from the 2006 season and home field advantage could give them the extra edge in today’s match up. Pinard and her players certainly had a different idea in mind, but it took the Ephs over seventy minutes to keep their midfield strong and penetrate Wesleyan’s defense.
“It took us somewhere towards the middle to end of the second half to be able to find space on the field and that’s when we scored,” commented Pinard.
With only 17:13 remaining in the game, Woodson was able to score the go-ahead goal to give the Ephs the 1-0 lead. It was a tight game throughout, as Williams only out shot Wesleyan by two, 8-6. Sophomore Lauren Sinnenberg was solid in her first career start as goalkeeper for the Ephs, playing a full 90 minutes and keeping her opponent scoreless. Sinnenberg recorded two saves.
Coming of a 2-1 home loss to Colby in the first round of the 2006 NESCAC Tournament, the Ephs are a hungry team who have learned a lot from the disappointing finish of last season. Their newfound focus and dedication helped lead them past a tough team today, and will serve to help them during the latter parts of the season when their play has traditionally waned in past seasons.
Williams continues play tomorrow at Keene State at 1. |
