Williams Field Hockey beats Amherst, 3-1 - October 29, 2007
The Williams College field hockey team beat archrivals, Amherst, for the second time this weekend, to advance in the NESCAC playoffs. The 4th seeded Ephs dropped the 5th seeded Jeffs, 3-1, in this afternoons' first round match up.
The first half was a battle for possession when Williams forward, Anne de Saint Phalle, scored the first goal of the game with 2:29 left in the first half, assisted by Meighan McGowan.
McGowan then scored off the penalty corner from Rebecca Gilbert with 10:24 left in the 2nd half. Cary Bearn scored with 6:45 left in the game, putting the Ephs up, 3-0.
Amherst's Catherine Calvert scored with 5:12 left in the game bringing the final score to 3-1. The Jeffs pulled their goalie, Kathleen Boucher, with 1:30 left in the game, but were unable to score.
Bethany Baker played in goal for the Ephs, making 2 saves, while Boucher made 6 saves for the Jeffs. Williams had 9 penalty corners to Amherst's 6, and the Ephs out shot the Jeffs, 11-6.
Last year, Williams played Amherst as their last game of the regular season, then in their first game of playoffs on the next day, just like this weekend. The Ephs beat Amherst in their last regular season game, but unfortunately lost to the Jeffs the very next day in playoffs. Head coach, Alix Rorke, was extremely pleased that this trend did not continue, "I was totally nervous knowing what happened last year and how the game can change, especially with our long time rivalry", said coach Rorke.
Coach Rorke was also proud of the leadership put forth by the seniors in today's contest, "My 3 seniors put us back in this game and kept the team alive", said coach Rorke.
Williams advances in the tournament and will play against top seeded Bowdoin College on 11/3/07 at 11 am, at Bowdoin. |
