WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – The Williams women's ice hockey team defeated Wesleyan, 7-1, in NESCAC tournament action Saturday afternoon in front of a home crowd at Lansing Chapman Rink. The win was led by the solid play of the Eph defense, as Wesleyan was limited to 19 shots, 18 of which were stopped by senior goalie Anna MacIntosh.
The Ephs jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead at the end of one period, led by the stellar goals from Bonnie Lui and freshman Annie Snodgrass.
The score remained 2-0 until there was 2:45 remaining in period number two, and Molly Wasserman took a Tori Scott pass and beat Cardinal goalie Liz Courtney.
Wesleyan countered just before the end of the period with a goal from Liza Eckles, but that was all the offense they would get on the afternoon.
The Ephs blasted four third-period goals past Courtney, highlighted by Wasserman's second goal of the contest, as well as goals from juniors Lisa Haney, Julia Karoly, and Liz Toomey. Liz Hodgman and Amanda Weber each picked up two assists in the final period as well.
