Women's Tennis
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- The Ephs kicked off the fall season for women’s tennis Friday at the Lindsay Morehouse Invitational. Also participating in the tournament are teams from Middlebury and Skidmore. This annual event is in honor of the Eph and former women’s tennis captain Lindsay Morehouse ’00, who was one of the three Williams alumni/ae who passed away in the September 11 attack in New York City. 
 
Williams faced off against Skidmore in doubles on Friday, making a clean sweep of all three matches. The duo of Leah Bush and Chloe Henderson overcame Risa Fukushige and Dea Koiava, 8-1, while Korina Neveux and Maxine Ng defeated Lily Feldman and Audrey Soohoo, 8-5. Freshman Julia Pham and junior Emily Zheng won against Sofia Carlsson and Jacqueline Ahn, 8-6. 
 
“It’s just so fun to compete,” Williams coach Anik Cepeda said. “It’s what this team loves to do and it’s what we’re best at. That’s what this tournament does for us, it always gives us excitement for the year ahead and an opportunity to work on new things.” Cepeda is in her second year as Head Coach of women’s tennis at Williams and led the team to finish third in last year’s NCAA championships.
 
The Morehouse Invitational is played in a round-robin format with three different flights. This allows for players to have more opportunities to participate, as there is no elimination. While no tournament winner will be crowned, on Sunday Williams College will present the Lindsay Morehouse award to one senior player from each participating team who shows "kindness, giving, [and a] team-first attitude," Cepeda said.
 
The tournament will continue through the weekend, with Williams facing off against Middlebury and Skidmore in singles and doubles. The fall season will conclude with the Middlebury Invitational, Oct. 12-14.

Williamstown Fire Committee Talks Station Project Cuts, Truck Replacement

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Prudential Committee on Wednesday signed off on more than $1 million in cost cutting measures for the planned Main Street fire station.
 
Some of the "value engineering" changes are cosmetic, while at least one pushes off a planned expense into the future.
 
The committee, which oversees the Fire District, also made plans to hold meetings over the next two Wednesdays to finalize its fiscal year 2025 budget request and other warrant articles for the May 28 annual district meeting. One of those warrant articles could include a request for a new mini rescue truck.
 
The value engineering changes to the building project originated with the district's Building Committee, which asked the Prudential Committee to review and sign off.
 
In all, the cuts approved on Wednesday are estimated to trim $1.135 million off the project's price tag.
 
The biggest ticket items included $250,000 to simplify the exterior masonry, $200,000 to eliminate a side yard shed, $150,000 to switch from a metal roof to asphalt shingles and $75,000 to "white box" certain areas on the second floor of the planned building.
 
The white boxing means the interior spaces will be built but not finished. So instead of dividing a large space into six bunk rooms and installing two restrooms on the second floor, that space will be left empty and unframed for now.
