Ephs drop conference game to Trinity, 6-3
Hartford, Conn. - Strong defensive play and 13 saves from senior goalkeeper Graham Fadden gave the Trinity College Bantams to an 6-3 win over the visiting New England Small Athletic Association (NESCAC) rival Williams College Ephs in men's lacrosse action this afternoon on Campus Field.
Trinity improves to 6-2 overall and 2-2 in the league, while the
Ephs fall to 1-5 overall and 1-3 in the NESCAC.
With the game in a scoreless deadlock for the majority of the
first period, Trinity senior co-captain Rob
Mountain broke the ice to put Trinity on the board late in
the first, giving the Bantams a 1-0 advantage, one they would not
relinquish. Trinity padded their lead to 4-0 in the first
half behind goals from senior Thomas Rogers
another from Mountain, and senior Brad
Hunnewell
The lead was barely comfortable for the Bantams who watched the
Ephs respond with three straight goals, two from Matt Cranshaw and
one from Tommy Murray, to cut the Trinity lead to 4-3. But
Williams was unable to tie the game, thanks to a staunch defensive
effort by the Bantams who were able to keep the Ephs out of the net
in the final period of play.
Trinity iced the game with fourth period goals from senior
co-captain Art Schweitzer and sophomore
Max Alderman. Williams senior goalkeeper
Michael Gerbush (Glen Head, N.Y.) made 11 saves
for the Ephs.
