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 College volleyball, MIT Invitational - September 29, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, MA - The Williams College volleyball team (7-7) split two matches on the first day of the MIT Invitational, setting up a spot in tomorrow's silver bracket. The Ephs began the day by extending their win streak to three with a 3-0 (25-19, 25-12, 25-17) win over Endicott but could not sustain the momentum in a 3-1 (25-23, 25-22, 16-25, 25-12) loss to Springfield.
"We are continuing to improve but we still have a lot more work to do to get where we want to be," said assistant coach Joel Williams.
Against Endicott, the Ephs were especially strong on the block and in the service game. Junior co-captain Chelsea Kubal and first year Aly McKinnon both smashed a team-high four aces and recorded 10 digs, while sophomore Eleanor Levine posted 6 blocks. Sophomore Emily Avis led the offense efficiently with 20 assists and also tallied 13 digs, while junior Whitney Hitchcock and sophomore Nicole Ballon-Landa both had 3 blocks.
In the second match, the Ephs were able to jump out to leads early and force ties late in both the first and second set but were unable to win either. While the Ephs won the third set convincingly, it was not enough to capture the come from behind victory against Springfield.
Despite the loss, the Ephs were able to produce some impressive numbers. Sophomore Kate Anderson smashed a team high 14 kills to go along with 5 blocks, while Levine added another 6 blocks to her total for the day. McKinnon and junior Andrea Scioscia led the defense with 11 digs and 7 digs respectively, while Ballon-Landa added 7 kills and 3 blocks. Avis also recorded 33 assists.
The Ephs now look forward two matches tomorrow in the fifth place silver bracket. Day 2 action begins at 10 AM with a match against Wellesley, followed by the Eph's final match at 2 PM against either Bates or Smith. |
