Game of the Week: Women's Tennis vs. Williams

With Honors: Mike Wohl '07 and Kristin Quinn '07

Forward Wohl scored three goals in two games over the weekend for the men’s soccer team.

However, he was even more stellar in the team’s overtime win over Trinity College on Saturday. Wohl scored in the fourth minute of the match to put the Jeffs on top. Then, with six minutes remaining and Amherst down by one, he found the back of the net to send the game into over

Men's soccer: Jeffs keeping NCAAs in sight

Last year, Amherst was seeded third and faced sixth-seed Wesleyan University in the opening round of postseason play at home. The Jeffs were up 1-0 with just over 10 minutes remaining when the Cardinals tied the game up to send it into overtime, and, eventually, a penalty kick shootout. The shootout went into the ninth round before Amherst finally gave out. This heartbreaking loss must surely be on the minds of the Jeffs as they enter into the 2004 season. The loss should not diminish Amherst’s

Men's crew remains undefeated

Midway into the race, the Jeff boat found itself behind by two seats. However, in the final 200 meters, Amherst pulled ahead with efficient and consistent stroking. Amherst took advantage of a crucial Bowdoin error in order to take the victory. “It was extremely close coming into the sprint. Their stroke caught what is known as a crab with about 15 strokes to go. That is, he did not get his oar blade in the water square,” said captain Gabriel Ravel ’05. After the Bowdoin boat went slightly off-

“Everybody was clicking this weekend,” said junior A.J. Greco. Amherst won Friday night’s game over Tufts in thrilling fashion. In front of a packed house, the Jeffs and the Jumbos were tied 2-2 after two periods. Tufts scored a quick but controversial goal to start the third as forward Shawn Sullivan barreled into goalie Dan Smith ’07 and the puck skittered beneath the sprawled keeper. The Jeffs responded forcefully, getting scoring chance after scoring chance on two power plays early in the t

Men's hockey falls to .500

The first loss of the weekend came at the hands of archrival Williams College. Amherst started the game extremely well, taking a 2-0 lead. A.J. Greco ’06 scored just 48 seconds into the game and first-year Sean Ellis scored his fifth goal of the year just over six minutes later on a power play. Williams responded with 10:50 to go in the first period, when Devon O’Rourke tallied his team-leading 10th goal of the season. O’Rourke’s goal spurred a flurry of Williams scoring, which ended with four

Men's ice hockey seeks a return to dominant form

In addition, Amherst won the Little Three Championship, sweeping Wesleyan University and Williams College. The optimism surrounding this season’s group should help the Jeffs meet, and even surpass, expectations for the upcoming year. This year’s co-captains, Beau Kretzman ’05 and John McNicholas ’04, bring experience and stability to the team. Kretzman, a brilliant offensive leader, is on pace to shatter many Amherst offensive records.  McNicholas led all of the team’s defensemen in points last
