Williams Sports InfoPrint Story | Email Story
BRUNSWICK, ME. – Williams (7-0-0, 11-0-0) wasted little time in asserting their dominance over conference opponent Bowdoin (6-5-0, 3-4-0), scoring just twenty-six ticks after the opening whistle.

The Ephs would tally another two goals in the first twenty minutes of play for a considerable three-goal first half lead, before closing out the game by a 4-0 margin. Williams remains unbeaten in the regular season and in conference play.

“I think we played very well in general,” We did a great job of finding our attacking options quickly which broke Bowdoin down early on.”

Bret Eisenhart scored her tenth goal of the season to start of the Ephs early offensive push. Annelise Snyder and Sarah Walmsley assisted on the play. Snyder and Walmsley teamed up for the next goals as well, with Snyder notching her team-leading tenth and eleventh goals of the year. Walmsley assisted on both goals, one coming at the 11:10 mark and the other coming just minutes later at 17:48.


The Ephs offense stayed quiet for most of the second half, until the 79th minute when freshman Sam Vilboa tacked another one on the scoreboard off a feed from Nicole Stenquist.

“We are still really focused on continuing to play better,” continued Michelyne. “The pressure as to how many games we have left and finishing undefeated isn’t something we’re thinking about, we’re just working out any kinks so that they we can continue to play better and better every time we got on the field.”

Williams will travel to Keene State for a mid-week evening game on Wednesday. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m.

Companion Corner: Lucy at Second Chance Animal Shelter

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

ARLINGTON, Vt. — There is an excited and energetic pup looking for her new family.

iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.

Lucy is an 18-month-old heeler/terrier mix with energy to spare. She has been at the Second Chance Animal Shelter for about a month.

Lead canine care technician Alaura Lasher introduced us to her.

"She is a very energetic girl. She loves to play, and as you can see, she came to us from animal control," she said. 

Lucy was not in a great situation before coming to the shelter and they are still trying to learn more about her.

"They had seized her from a pretty neglectful situation. She was actually technically abandoned. She just came to us this last month, so she's still showing us all of her energy she has," Lasher said.

Lucy is able to go home with a dog-savvy cat and older children as she can be a bit jumpy with her bounds of energy.

"The perfect home for her is one that is able to give her a ton of attention and a ton of time playing, she loves her time outside," said Lasher. "She can run forever and not get tired. She can possibly live with another dog who is used to more of a pushy play style. She can be a little pushy when she plays, just because she's so hyper."

Since she is young, she is still learning and training with the staff and might need more with someone who takes her home.

"To the best of our knowledge, she's just a healthy young girl, because she's only a year and a half old, she still got a little bit of learning and training that she could use."

But Lucy is always happy to see anyone and immediately wants to play and say hi. Her endless energy makes her a great companion to play outside with and then hang out after a long day of fun.

"She's just a super sweet girl again. She'll need some help with the training, but as long as you've got time to burn out her energy, she'll make a great family dog," she said.

If you think Lucy might be the girl for you, reach out to Second Chance Animal Shelter and learn more about her on their website.
