Strong second half propels Ephs to 13-9 road win over Bates
Williams Sports Info 10:08AM / Monday, March 16, 2009
LEWISTON, ME. — The Williams College women's lacrosse team outscored host Bates 5-2 over the final 10 minutes, 30 seconds of the second half Saturday en route to a 13-9 conference win.
Eight different players scored for Williams, which improved to 2-1 overall, 1-1 in NESCAC play. Bates fell to 2-2 overall, 0-2 in the conference.
Williams will host RPI Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.
"It took us about 10 minutes to get going in the second half," Ephs head coach Chris Mason said. "Once we cleared some things up, we started moving the ball better and getting available to receive the ball better. On defense, we had really good footwork, and Julia (Schreiber) was aggressive — she came out and got quite a few steals."
The two teams were tied at the halftime break, 5-5. Early in the second half, sisters Julia and Tina Nawrocki teamed up for a goal that put Williams up by one, with Tina doing the scoring. By the time they team up again, this time with Julia scoring the final goal off an assist from Tina, the Ephs had put game away.
Senior Britt Spackman, who had two goals and two assists in the win, had a highlight reel goal midway through the second half, receiving a pass from Tina Nawrocki and firing a quick shot into the top left-hand corner of the Bates goal for a 9-7 Eph lead with 10:30 remaining.
Junior Tracey Ferriter also scored two goals, crabon copy shots into the lower left corner of the net. Tina Nawrocki finished with 2 goals and 3 assists on the day. First-year Margie Fulton had three goals and one assists.
Schreiber finished with 10 saves in goal for the Ephs.
