Middlebury grabbed an early 1-0 lead, but Williams scored five-straight goals, as the Ephs handed the Panthers (8-11-3, 6-7-3) a 5-3 setback Saturday in Kenyon Arena. Middlebury is home again on Friday hosting Amherst, while the Ephs (15-6-1, 12-4-0) entertain Hamilton the same day with both contests starting at 7:00 p.m.
The hosts had a pair of power plays in the opening 10 minutes, but were unable to solve Williams goalie Cosimo Lazzarino. The Ephs had a good chance just past the midway mark when Max Fuld circled the net with his rising shot that hit Panther netminder Brian Ketchabaw
