Ephs dominate Bowdoin, 4-0
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,” said Eph coach Michelyne Pinard. "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 off 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 Pinard. “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.
