More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

Williams women's soccer at Bates - September 15, 2008
LEWISTON, ME. – Having finished atop the NESCAC standings with a 9-0 record last season, women’s soccer (2-0, 1-0 NESCAC) is hoping to replicate that success in conference play for their 2008 campaign. The Ephs took care of business, bouncing back from an early deficit to notch their first conference victory of the season at Bates (0-1, 0-1).
Although Williams dominated in shots taken at 40-5, Bates managed to convert on an early look in the 23rd minute of play. Bates’ Amanda Gifford capitalized off a rebound while unmarked on the far right post, and put the Bobcats ahead.
The home team’s lead was short-lived, as Brianna Wolfson proved to be the offensive spark once again for the come-from-behind Ephs. Wolfson knotted the score merely five minutes after Bates’ found the net. The game remained tied for another forty minutes before Williams’ Jacqueline Russo scored for the game-winner. Wolfson assisted on the play.
In two contests, Williams has already allowed two goals- a third of their allowed goals total in eighteen games last season. The Ephs, currently ranked 8th in the national polls, must look to tighten their defense against the top teams in the nation when an early goal may prove more difficult to overcome.
In a brief respite from conference play, Williams will travel to Springfield on Wednesday at 5:00. |
