Williams Men's Lacrosse, Tennis Lose to NESCAC Foes
WATERVILLE, Maine — A slew of second-half goals propelled Colby’s men’s lacrosse team to its biggest-ever victory over Williams on Saturday afternoon, as the Mules (8-5, 4-5 NESCAC) won by a 17-9 count over the Ephs (8-5, 4-5 NESCAC).
The two teams are now tied for seventh in the conference standings, and each has qualified for a playoff spot on the strength of head-to-head victories over ninth-place Trinity.
For the No. 19 Ephs, the loss stretched their NESCAC losing streak to five games, with a nonconference win against Vassar earlier this week representing Williams’ only victory in nearly a month—a surprising development for a team that began the year by winning its first seven games.
“They’re a good team,” said Williams coach George McCormack on Colby. “I think morale [for us] is fine. We got out-executed.”
Williams will conclude its regular season with a midweek match against second-place Middlebury, one of three potential first-round opponents for the Ephs.
