6 Ephs earn All-NESCAC honors & Michelyne Pinard repeats as Coach of the Year

When you go through two regular seasons and two NESCAC Tournaments without losing a game and become the first team to repeat as NESCAC Champions it is a given that some of your players are going to be honored for their efforts. That is certainly the case for the 2008 Ephs.

Williams (16-0-1) placed five players on the All-NESCAC First Team, one on the Second Team and for the second consecutive year head coach Michelyne Pinard has been named the Coach of the Year.

Pinard has guided the Ephs to a glittering 21-0-1 record in NESCAC regular season and tournament play over the last two seasons. Under Pinard Williams has an overall record of 33-1-1 the last two years heading into this Sunday's NCAA Tournament contest against the winner of the Norwich/Husson contest.

Four Ephs repeated as First Team selections; senior forward Gabby Woodson (Plano, TX), junior forward Brianna Wolfson (Brookville, NY), senior back Caitlin Colesanti (Wyckoff, NJ) and junior goalie Lauren Sinnenberg (Westfield, NJ).

For the second straight season Gabby Woodson is the leading goal scorer (12) for the Ephs and with seven assists tops the team in points with 31. Woodson also leads the Ephs with four game-winning goals. Wolfson has netted 10 goals, has a team-high eight assists (28 points) and she has delivered three game winners.

Colesanti and Sinnenberg have played key roles in limiting Eph opponents to just nine goals on the year against the 48 Williams has netted. Colesanti, a captain and three-year starter is the anchor of the back line. Sinnenberg in 1262:49 in goal has allowed just seven goals on the year for a goals against average of 0.50. She has posted seven shutouts this fall.

Earning conference honors for the first time are sophomores Sara Wild (Portland, OR) and Kara Duggan (Poway, CA). Wild, a midfielder was named to the First Team and Duggan, a back, was named to the Second Team.

Wild has notched seven goals on the year, including three game-winners and she has also assisted on four tallies to date.

Duggan, the voice and organizer of the Eph backline, notched her first goal of her collegiate career this season.

Sunday the Ephs will face Husson College (ME) in a second round game of the NCAA Tournament at 1:00 PM on Cole Field.
