The Ephs running the Connecticut College Camels out of their own gym 85 to 53
Williams Sports Info 09:35AM / Monday, January 26, 2009
NEW LONDON, CT. - The Ephs (14-5, 4-0) finished their road trip in style Saturday, running the Connecticut College Camels (9-8, 0-4) out of their own gym by a score of 85 to 53. Williams found their shooting strokes once again in knocking down 16 three-pointers in the win.
“What a difference a day makes,” said Williams’ coach Mike Maker, whose Ephs responded from a 1-20 three-point shooting performance yesterday in a win over Wesleyan to shoot 52% (16 of 31) from long range today.
The Camels never really had a chance, as the Ephs out scored them 45-29 in the first half, and 40-24 in the second. Eph-leading scorer Blake Schultz (Atherton, CA) netted a career-high 32 points in the victory on a marksman’s 8 for 13 from three-point range. Second-leading scorer and co-captain Kevin Snyder (Littleton, CO) was also deadly from beyond the arc, hitting 5 for 5 and scoring 21 points in the contest.
“You can’t live and die by the three point shot, and that’s not our intention,” said Coach Maker, “but we’re good shooters and when we’re open we gotta let it fly.”
Dean Lampe and Shavar Bernier led the attack for the home Camels, scoring 15 and 11 points respectively, but Connecticut as a team struggled from the field – especially from three-point land. The Camels were held to 43% shooting on the night including a 2 for 14 showing from downtown.
The game dropped the Camels to the bottom of the NESCAC standings at 0-4 while propelling the Ephs to a tie at the top with Middlebury at 4-0. Williams will travel to Middlebury on the thirty-first for their next game. Said Maker:
“We’re going to do what we always do [in preparation for a game], we’re going to try to get better and focus on what we’re doing. It should be an extra benefit not having a midweek game this week so we can have a solid week of practice.”
Game time for the Ephs match up with Middlebury is set for 2:00 pm, January 31st.
