Women's soccer falls in league playoff game

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. --- The Colby College women's soccer team held Williams College to no goals in the first half during the regular season, but the nationally second-ranked Ephs tallied three times in the opening 45 minutes on the way to a 4-0 win in a New England Small College Athletic Conference quarterfinal game Sunday.
