After finishing 12th in the country for the third time in four years, the Williams College women will look to break through that barrier in 2018-2019. This will not be an easy task for Zafi Levy’s Ephs, who lose their top two players, First Team All-NESCAC performers Nicole Friedman and Hayley Parsons, to graduation. Fortunately, Second Team All-NESCAC members Julia Ward and Esther Baek lead the returning players, who are joined by three incoming first-years. Brown University will be tough opponents again this year, joined by new challengers from the mid-Atlantic region moving up the rankings – Drexel, George Washington, and Virginia.
