Last Saturday, men’s crew traveled to Saratoga Springs to compete in the Little Three Championship. While the regatta, as the name suggests, used to feature the Ephs competing against both the Wesleyan Cardinals and the Amherst Mammoths, the competition is effectively a dual meet between the Ephs and the Cardinals as the Mammoths have rarely participated since restructuring their varsity rowing program into a club sport in the early 1990s.

The Ephs skated onto Middlebury’s rink on Friday night with confidence, coming off the heels of a second 5-3 win against Wesleyan (5-16-1, 3-12-1 NESCAC) this season. As the end of the regular season draws to a close, the team, currently ranked ninth in the NESCAC, hopes to move into the top eight and secure a spot in the NESCAC Tournament.
On Friday night, No. 11 men’s squash (12-6, 8-0 NESCAC) defeated the No. 16 Amherst Mammoths (11-7, 6-4 NESCAC) on the road, adding to an already spotless conference record.

The match was the second time the teams had faced each other in five days, following both teams’ final regular season game on Tuesday last week, where the game ended in a 0-1 loss for the Ephs that was decided only by a contested penalty kick.
The Williamstown Planning Board is continuing to draft a warrant article for Town Meeting this spring that would allow for the construction of denser and more affordable housing as part of “cottage court” developments, which would consist of four to 12 buildings, the majority of which would be single-family homes, built around one common area. Under the bylaw, developers would be able to build “cottage court” developments in the Town’s general residence district “by right,” without any special approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Residents will have the chance to vote on the bylaw’s adoption at Town Meeting.
