WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The Ephs (1-2) took another tumble this Tuesday against nationally ranked Keene State (6-0). The win for the Owls was a program record having never achieved 6 straight shut-outs before. Williams started well, but complacency seemed to plague the Ephs as they had a tough time converting their effort and energy into goals.
Despite the loss, Williams gained more experience for their young roster and had a wide range of contributions from players who collectively put together one of their best team efforts this season in the second period.
The Ephs started the first period strong but their momentum hit a roadblock after Keene State sophomore Jackie Benson hit net at 13:55. The goal was preceded by a defensive save for Eph sophomore Amy McLaughlin (Topsfield), but too much chaos too close to the net put Keene State up for good, as their one point advantage held for the remainder of the game.
The Ephs posted a strong second half but fell short of the win in spite of strong performances by senior captains Amy Siedlecki (Madison, CT) and Whitney Thayer (Lancaster, PA). In the end William’s tallied 18 shots to Keene State’s 17, while the Owls received 10 penalty corners to the Ephs 6.
Junior goalkeeper Katrina Tulla (New Canaan, CT) put together another dependable performance for the Ephs finishing the game with 11 saves. Likewise, Owl senior Vikki Stoessel played the full 70 minutes tallying 11 saves.
Coach Alix Burrale commented on the game, “We haven’t unleashed our potential yet, but we are getting closer. With a young team and a tough schedule we are fine-tuning and gaining one of a kind experiences that will lend to our progress as the season continues.”
This Saturday the Ephs will be playing again against Connecticut College at 12PM.
