Williams women’s lacrosse lost to NESCAC rival Bowdoin
Williams Sports Info 09:29AM / Monday, April 13, 2009
BRUNSWICK, ME — Williams women’s lacrosse (6-4, 3-4NESCAC) lost a hard fought battle to NESCAC rival Bowdoin (7-6, 2-5 NESCAC) with a final score of 10-7.
Williams was first on the board when junior Tracey Ferriter capitalized on a pass from senior Julia Nawrocki two and a half minutes into the game. Bowdoin’s Lindsay McNamara and Libby Barton both answered back with goals before Williams freshman Margie Fulton scored one of her own to tie the game 2-2 at 19:46.
Bowdoin stepped up their play in the next ten minutes, scoring four goals in a row. However, Williams finished the half strong with goals from Fulton, Ferriter, and Nawrocki in the last five minutes. The half ended with a 6-5 advantage to Bowdoin.
The second half began with another four goal scoring streak from Bowdoin, so that Bears were ahead 10-5 with 15 minutes to play. Three of the goals were unassisted, and one came off a free position shot.
Williams’s final two goals, from Senior Britt Spackman and freshman Katie Ellis, came at 10:30 and 9:32 respectively. Bowdoin stalled in the last ten minutes, and while the Ephs successfully recaptured the ball four times, they were unable to capitalize.
Steph Collins-Finn made 8 save for Bowdoin, while sophomore Julia Schreiber turned 9 aside for the Ephs. Both teams were plagued with yellow cards, with Bowdoin receiving 4 and Williams racking up 5.
Ephs head coach Chris Mason thought her team played hard, and was impressed Bowdoin’s play: “Everyone played hard, but Bowdoin had a great game. We had some turnovers that hurt us, but it was a good effort.” Mason noted that Julia Nawrocki played particularly hard on offense Tracey Ferriter played well at both ends of the field.
The Ephs next game is 7:00pm on Wednesday April 15th at Skidmore.
