SCORE
BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin goaltender Kelly Thomas saved a
season-high nine shots and Kit Hamley's well-timed first goal of
the season led the Polar Bear women's soccer team to a 1-0 decision
over Middlebury Saturday at Pickard Field. The Polar Bears (4-1-3,
2-1-2 NESCAC) earn their second-consecutive shutout and fifth
overall while the Panthers (3-4-2, 2-2-0 NESCAC) see their
four-game unbeaten streak come to an end.
Following a scoreless first period that saw the Panthers out-shoot
the Polar Bears 9-0, Bowdoin responded with a flurry of action in
the second half. A sustained effort up the field resulted in the
game's only goal, as Hamley's effort from the top of the box tucked
under the crossbar over the head of Middlebury netminder Lauryn
Torch to give Bowdoin the lead at 66:15.
Despite holding a 17-5 advantage in shots, Middlebury could not
find the equalizer as Thomas stopped all nine shots that were
on-goal. Torch made two saves in defeat for the Panthers.
