BOX
SCORE
BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Trinity College women's soccer team
scored a pair of goals with under 17 minutes to play to take a 2-0
win at Bowdoin on Saturday afternoon. The Bantams improve to 7-4-0
(3-4-0 NESCAC) while the Polar Bears dip to 5-2-3 (3-2-2 NESCAC).
A scoreless first half saw Bowdoin hold a 5-2 edge in shots, but
neither team could convert until late in the second period. Trinity
broke into the scoring column with just 16:51 to play, as Leigh
Howard rifled a low shot from the left side that slipped inside the
right post to give the Bantams the lead. As Bowdoin pressured to
get the equalizer, Jenny Ley was able to take advantage of a
counter-attack and beat her defender. Her effort from the top of
the box found the lower left corner to seal the win for Trinity.
Emily Weedon stopped four shots for Trinity while Kelly Thomas
made three saves for the Polar Bears. The win snaps a four-game
losing streak for the Bantams against the Polar Bears, dating back
to 2004. That streak included a 2-0 win by Bowdoin over Trinity in
the NESCAC quarterfinals a year ago.
