Men's soccer blanks Williams 2-0 for NESCAC road win

O'Dowd '25 and Peplowski '25 scored for the Continentals

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Hamilton College's Lucas O'Dowd '25 and Luke Peplowski '25 scored goals and Finn Wheeler '27 posted a shutout in the Continentals' 2-0 NESCAC win against the Williams College Ephs at Williams' Farley-Lamb Field on Tuesday night, Sept. 10.
 

Season Update

  • Hamilton (1-2-0, 1-1 NESCAC) picked up its first win this season.
  • The Ephs (1-2-0, 0-2) has been shut out in both of its conference matches.
 

How It Happened

  • The Continentals took a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute. O'Dowd and Charles Hawthorn '25 executed a give-and-go and Hawthorn drove into the 18-yard box. He was stopped by a couple defenders deep on the right side of the box and passed back to O'Dowd. His right-footed shot from 15 yards out skipped along the turf and tucked inside the left post.
  • Williams doubled up Hamilton in shots in the first half, 6-3, but the Continentals took their 1-0 edge into the break.
  • Peplowski provided some insurance in the 71st minute. Luke Ehrenfreund '25 took a corner kick from the left side and the ball sailed over nearly everyone to Peplowski near the right post. Peplowski headed the ball back into the center of the net from a couple yards out and gave Hamilton a two-goal advantage.
