A star on the hardwood, former point guard Amanni Fernandez ’18 saw the countless “swoosh” logos on her teammates and opponents’ feet during her playing career. Little did she know she would one day end up working for Nike, the company that designs shoes for superstars like Lebron James and Neymar.
On Saturday, football’s furious comeback fell just short as Williams (5-3, 5-3 in the NESCAC) fell to Wesleyan 21-14, despite two touchdown passes thrown by Jackson Bischoping ’22 to Frank Stola ’21 in the fourth quarter. Both sides played a tough, gritty defense, which led to just one score – a seven-yard rushing touchdown by Cardinal running back Glenn Smith – in the first half.
