Women's Soccer Williams vs. Colby- NESCAC 1st roundWilliams Sports Info
09:10AM / Monday, November 03, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass – Defending NESCAC champions and top-seeded Williams College faced off against eighth-seeded Colby this afternoon in the opening round of the conference tournament, dealing the Mules a 4-0 defeat. The two teams played in the regular season on October 19, where Williams just edged out Colby in a 1-0 result.
“There is some extra incentive when playing Cole [Field],” commented Ephs head coach Michelyne Pinard. “Last game, we had some great opportunities but just didn’t finish and we did finish today which was the difference.”
The Ephs were not playing consistent soccer that weekend, but brought their offensive chops in today’s contest. The Williams defense shut down their opposition for yet another game as well, allowing only one shot per half. The Ephs led in shots (Williams: 24, Colby: 2) and corner kicks (Williams: 7, Colby 0).
Williams scored their first goal just five minutes after the opening whistle with a heads-up play by Gabrielle Woodson. Brianna Wolfson laced a through pass to Woodson, who smartly waited for her defender to pass her to avoid the offside call. After collecting the pass, Woodson drew the goalie out of net and faked a kick causing the goalie to dive to the ground. She then maneuvered left to tap the ball into goal for a 1-0 advantage.
The Ephs built a more comfortable lead before the half with 12:55 on the clock. Jacqueline Russo deflected a pass to Annelise Snyder who took a hard shot to the far left corner for the score.
Colby had no answer for the Williams offense, and the Ephs continued to pad their lead in the second period. Wolfson scored the team’s third goal at 65:25. Retrieving the ball amidst traffic in the box, she completed a little side step move and found space to knock the ball into the goal. Sarah Walmsley tallied the fourth goal at 77:59.
The Ephs will host the semifinals and finals of the NESCAC tournament for the second consecutive year next weekend.
“It is going to be an incredibly competitive four team tournament,” continued Pinard. “We are glad that we are home, and it’s going to be a great three games of soccer, and we hope to be playing in two of them.”
Williams will face the winner of the Bowdoin/Tufts game on Saturday, November 8 at 11:00 a.m. on Cole Field. Should they win on Saturday, the Ephs will advance to the NESCAC finals for a Sunday contest. |
