MEN'S LACROSSE

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – The Williams College men's lacrosse team opened up a 5-0 lead in the first quarter and went on to an 11-5 win over Bates on Saturday on Farley-Lamb Field.

 

The win by the Ephs (6-0, 4-0 NESCAC) snapped a two-game winning streak for the Bobcats (3-3, 1-3).

 

Five different Ephs scored in the first quarter. At 13:43 Bryson Gilbert-Bono notched the first goal of the game off a pass from Tanner MacIvor. Bryson Gilbert-Bono then assisted on an Andy Grabowski goal to make it 2-0 at 11:59. Jack Lauroesch scored an unassisted tally at 8:14. Steven Kiesel scored off a feed from Chris McLaughlin to make it 4-0 Williams.

 

"We were kind of well rested, not having a midweek game," Williams coach George McCormack said. "It's a tough week with midterms, but the kids were relieved to be done with the midterms and they came out and shared the ball and got good shots. Our offense as a unit played really well the entire game."

 

Thomas Fowler closed out the first quarter with an unassisted goal with just three seconds remaining.

 

The Ephs were led in scoring by Grabowski, who scored three times. MacIvor and Gilbert-Bono each registered two assists in the contest. Dan Whittam stopped 15 shots to earn the win in goal.

 

Williams travels to Florida to play Schenctady, N.Y.'s, Union College on Tuesday.
