WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- The Williams College women’s basketball team improved to 7-0 on Wednesday with a 65-54 win over the Smith College Pioneers in the Ephs' last home game of 2015.

 

In a game that featured extended runs and scoring droughts from both teams, the Ephs were able to play the most consistent basketball. Aiding this consistency was the fact that four of the Williams starters scored in double figures, with the front court pair of Katie Litman and Oge Uwanaka leading the way with 14 points each.

 

Smith (2-5) made all the little plays to help their cause, recording more steals than Williams and owning the distinction of being the only team so far this season that has outrebounded the Ephs.

 

Williams plays at Wesleyan on Saturday.
