WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – In a cold and blustery game, Ephs women’s lacrosse (1-1, 0-1 NESCAC) beat MIT (0-2) 17-6. Ephs offense was relentless with, seniors Julia Nawrocki and Brit Spackman, juniors Tina Nawrocki and Whitney Thayer, and freshman Taylor Fleishhacker all scoring hat tricks.
Williams started strong with Spackman and both Nawrocki's scoring before MIT put a point on the board with a goal from Lynne Tye at 20:02. After unsuccessful settled attack from both sides, Williams’ Fleishhacker broke through the MIT defense twice in a row to bring the score to 5-1. Both teams were successful in the last 10 minutes of the first half. Ephs’ Thayer, Julia Nawrocki, Tina Nawrocki, Spackman and Fleishhacker all scored, and both Tye and Erica Little found the net for MIT. The half finished with Williams up 10-3.
MIT took advantage of a yellow card that left the Ephs down a man to start the second half. They scored two goals before the card expired. Ephs answered back with goals from junior Quinn Sanborne-Bruggemann and Julia Nawrocki. Casey Flynn scored MIT’s last goal of the game at 23:49. However, Williams offense was not finished. Thayer, Spackman, and Tina Nawrocki rounded out their hat tricks, and freshman Margie Fulton put one on the board for the Ephs to win the game with a score of 17-6.
Ephs head coach Chris Mason was pleased with her teams play. She said, “I was really happy with how we moved the ball today, and our defense played well.” In addition to the Ephs’ strong offense, freshman Meera Sivalingam played particularly well for Williams on defense. Sophomore goalie Julia Schreiber made 6 saves for the Ephs while MIT keeper Molly McCartin stopped 12.
Ephs next game is away against NESCAC opponent Bates College this Saturday, March 12, at noon.
