FIELD HOCKEY
 
NEW LONDON, Conn.—A battle to the bitter end, the Williams College field hockey team (4-2) pulled through with a win in overtime, 2-1, at Connecticut College (3-3) on Saturday.
 
"Conn came out fighting and had us on our heels throughout the game," Williams coach Alix Barrale said. "They disrupted our offensive flow"
 
Demonstrating her endless tenacity like always, junior Annie VanWagenen came up with a goal with under a minute left in regulation time to tie up the game. Her goal sent Williams and Connecticut into overtime.
 
VanWagenen's persistence ultimately lead the Ephs to a victory. In the first two minutes of overtime sophomore Kit Rosen finished the game off an assist from sophomore Rachel Brissette. 
 
"We were a little sluggish at the start," Barrale said. "We consistently drew corners, but could not convert."
 
It took a goal from the Camels to ignite the Ephs into game mode. 
 
In the end, the Ephs scraped out another win. "I'm really pleased that we fought until the bitter end and got the job done—even if it wasn't pretty," said Barrale.
 
The Ephs host Springfield College on Wednesday evening at 6 p.m.
