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. |

Ephs topple Keene State 2-0 in first home game - September 17, 2008
 | | Photo Courtesy of Williams Field Hockey (Kelsey Ham) | Williamstown - Williams College topped Keene State with a strong offensive first half and a sensational defensive effort resulting in two goals for the Ephs Tuesday night at Renzie Lamb Field.
In the first period of their first home game, Eph field hockey (2-1) mounted a lead after junior forward Anne de Saint Phalle (Bronxville, NY) made the first goal of the night off a penalty corner pass from freshman Amy McLaughlin (Topsfield, Mass.). Setting pace for the rest of the period, the Ephs continued to resist the Owls challenging offense, and continuous fast breaks with their consistently strong defense. Senior Sarah Burleigh (Darien, Conn.) took one for the team after making a defensive save against a tough shot be Keene State.
Williams continued to pressure Owl defense with 8 shot attempts. Nearing the end of the first period, senior forward Elspeth Macmillan (Portland, OR) scored the Ephs second and final goal on her second attempt.
Despite Keene State's several penalty corners, their aggressive offense was not enough to top the Eph's superior defense and numerous saves by sophomore goalie Katrina Tulla (New Canaan, Conn.). Juniors Carly Benning and Erin Dallas each had multiple shot attempts for the Owls.
After a strong first period, the second period was more relaxed with fewer shot attempts on both sides. The Ephs and Owls continuously fought for possession of the ball, but no goals were made. Williams wrapped up the game with a 15-4 lead on shots and a 2-point victory against Keene State.
Overall, Williams Coach, Alex Rorke (9th Season), was happy with the Eph's defensive effort and strong play off the bench. The Ephs are looking to carry over their first period intensity into their second period play in their up and coming games. |
