Ephs Defeat Wesleyan 4-3 - November 26, 2007
WILLIAMSTOWN – The Williams College women's ice hockey team (1-3-0) defeated Wesleyan College (0-4-0) at home Sunday afternoon, by a score of 4-3, to record their first win of the season.
The Ephs came out strong, scoring within the very first minute of the game. Sophomore Torrey Taussig came from behind the net and pushed the puck past Cardinal goaltender Rachel Stemerman to put the Ephs ahead at 0:43. Williams continued to put pressure on Wesleyan when junior Sam Tarnasky capitalized on a Cardinal penalty to score at 10:54 on a power play. She was assisted by junior Mallory Green and sophomore Tracey Ferriter.
With less than two minutes into the second period, junior Hannah Jackson put Wesleyan on the board when she ripped a shot to the top left corner of the net.
Senior captain Caralyn Quan, assisted by juniors Sam Tarnasky and Joey Lye, answered for the Ephs when she netted a goal at 9:43. Wesleyan, however, did not give up. Eph goaltender Denise McCulloch made two great saves on consecutive shots before Cardinal freshman Sena Ito connected on a rebound to score the second goal for Wesleyan. Ito was assisted by senior Jessica Fischer and Jackson at 15:15.
Williams remained ahead in the third period, adding another tally to the
scoreboard at 1:13 when senior Allie Morrow knocked in a pass from freshman Jacqueline Berglass. Despite another Wesleyan goal at 9:54, scored by Ito and assisted by Jackson, the Ephs held onto the lead to win their first game.
Eph goaltender Denise McCulloch recorded 29 saves, while Rachel Stemerman blocked 24 shots for the Cardinals.
Senior captain Caralyn Quan played particularly well for the Ephs this
afternoon. "Caralyn was outstanding for us. She was smart with the puck,
confident in what she was doing, and had good puck movement," said Coach
Shannon Bryant.
Of the game, Bryant remarked, "We came out hard in the first period and set the tempo right away. If we could have played that way for 60 minutes it would've been a great game. I am still looking for the team to play high intensity hockey for a full game because I know they have it in them."
The Ephs will get the chance to improve their record on Friday against
Connecticut College. The game will start at 7 p.m.
