Williams Basketball On Winning Streak - January 07, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN — A strong defensive performance propelled the Williams men's basketball team (11-0) to victory on Saturday night over the Mitchell College Pequots (0-11) in the first round of the Williams Invitational.
The Ephs were able to keep the visiting Pequots off the scoreboard for the first 4 1/2 minutes of the game before junior Joshua Witt's lay-up brought the score to 13-2.
Thanks to the strong start, Eph coach Dave Paulsen was able to give his bench a lot of work early on, as at the 12-minute mark in the first half not a single Williams starter was on the floor.
Offensively, the Ephs were extremely balanced, as Joe Geoghegan was the only player to reach double-digits in both points and rebounds, with 15 and 11 respectively. While Williams shot just 40 percent from the field (30 percent from 3-point range), their stingy defense allowed just 27 percent by the Pequots. Thirteen players scored for Williams, and all players in attendance got in the game.
For the Pequots sophomore Eric Murray stood out, leading all scorers with 21 points on 8 of 17 shooting and 5-for-5 from the free throw line.
Said Paulsen, "I thought we set the tone well at the start defensively, holding them scoreless for four minutes, and I thought it was nice that we played unselfishly, sometimes in a big win you run the risk of guys starting to look for their own shot, so I thought that was great. Obviously Joe [Geoghegan] did a great job on the glass, and so did Matty Weisbrot." |
