Williams College Mens' Soccer vs Bates

- October 09, 2007

The Williams men's soccer team used two goals in the first half, and an insurance goal in the second to propel them to a 3-1 victory over conference foe Bates, at Cole Field on Saturday. The win keeps the Ephs (6-2-1) in second place in the NESCAC standings behind Amherst and Middlebury, while Bates (2-6-1) remains winless in conference play.

On a day where the score could have just as easily been 6-1, it was all Ephs all day. Williams played fast and focused soccer, incessantly pressuring the Bobcats and bombarding the goal.

The Ephs first goal was perhaps the games most sensational. Senior Ryan Pelletier fielded classmate Mike Darlings pass in the middle of the box and rocketed a wide open shot only to have it be rejected by the crossbar. However, the ball took a fortuitous bounce and landed directly at his feet where this time he punched it in at the 19th minute mark.

The Ephs didn’t let up, and netted the games second goal three minutes later when Darling was able to convert junior Dan Curbelo-Zeldmans through ball.

The rest of the half saw multiple near-misses for the Ephs, who had a scrum goal nullified by an offsides penalty, had a penalty kick stopped, and had several open shots that failed to find net.

The second half saw more of the same, with the Ephs control only momentarily in question when Bobcat midfielder Dustin DiGregorio fired a line drive from 20 yards out that Eph Keeper Andrew Graham was unable to stop, making it 2-1 with 38 minutes remaining.

However, the Ephs responded eight minute later when Curbelo-Zeldman took Pelletier's through ball instride and flicked it over the top of the charging Bobcat keeper. The insurance goal proved to be all the Ephs would need as Bates was unable to mount an effective comeback.

"I'm extremely pleased with our performance today. We had a lot of firepower today, and were really able to dictate play." Remarked Eph coach Mike Russo.
