Eph Women's Lacrosse Loses to Conn. CollegeWilliams Sports Info - April 24, 2008
NEW LONDON, Conn. — Williams women's lacrosse (6-7, 2-6 NESCAC) lost to Connecticut College (7-7, 2-6 NESCAC) with a final score of 15-17 on Wednesday.
Sophomore Tina Nawrocki led the Ephs in points with four goals and two assists followed by classmate Whitney Thayer who had three goals and two assists.
Sara Christopher scored four goals and had three assists and Paige Pascarelli scored four goals and dished out three assists, leading the Camels to victory.
Williams opened the game with two goals in the first four minutes of play off shots from senior Alison Murray and sophomore Whitney Thayer. The Ephs and the Camels both scored twice to bring the game to 4-2 Ephs before Conn when on a four goal streak to take the advantage, 6-4.
Again, both teams scored twice to bring the score to 8-6 with Connecticut in the lead, but two Eph goals from Thayer and senior Sarah Adkins tied the score 8-8 to end the half.
Both teams battled to take control for the first 15 minutes of the second half. Jen Robinson scored for the Camels and senior Sara du Pont netted one for the Ephs, tying the score at 9-9 with only three minutes played in the half. Ephs junior Britt Spackman and Robinson scored again, tying the game at 10 apiece at 24:06. Both teams scored twice more to tie the game at 12 and then again to tie the game 13-13 at 14:26.
However, a three-goal surge put the Camels on top for the rest of the game. Williams fought to stay in, bringing the score to 16-15 with two goals from Nawrocki in the last six minutes of the game, but a goal from Connecticut's Colby Tallman sealed the victory for the Camels with only 27 seconds left on the clock.
Connecticut narrowly out shot Williams 29-28 in this closely fought battle. Jenna Ross made 12 saves for the Camels while freshman Julia Schreiber made 10 saves for the Ephs.
Ehp's head coach Chris Mason said her team's defensive play, not just in the Ephs defensive zone, made the difference in today's contest.
"We played well offensively and when you score 15 goals you hope the game goes your way. But we played sloppy defense in the midfield, and were not on them close enough all over the field."
The Ephs last regular season game is Saturday, April 24, at NESCAC rival Bowdoin at 11 a.m. |
