BOX SCORE
BRUNSWICK, Maine - First-year Dominique Lozzi scored two goals to
lead the Bowdoin College women's ice hockey team to a victory in
the final game at Dayton Arena, 3-0, over Wesleyan University on
Saturday. The Polar Bears improve to 3-7-0 (1-5-0 NESCAC) while the
Cardinals fall to 2-10-1 (1-5-1 NESCAC).
The Bowdoin women's ice hockey team closes Dayton with an all-time
mark of 159-73-15 in the venerable arena. All-time, the Polar Bear
varsity ice hockey teams posted a mark of 517 wins, 213 losses and
38 ties in 52 seasons at the arena.
Bowdoin dominated the opening period, holding a 19-4 shot
advantage, but couldn't push the puck past Wesleyan netminder
Rachel Sternerman. After continuing to control the pace of play in
the second frame, Bowdoin took advantage on the powerplay midway
through the stanza. Dominique Lozzi took a feed from Lindsay
McNamara in front of the cage, circled and wristed the puck past
Sternerman for a 1-0 Bowdoin lead at 11:01.
Lozzi gave Bowdoin a much-needed insurance tally in the third
period, collecting a loose puck in the neutral zone and beating
Sternerman one-on-one at 9:03. Minutes later, Jill Campbell slapped
a shot that rebounded off Sternerman's pads to the waiting stick of
Lindsay McNamara, who banged home the loose puck for a 3-0 lead
with 6:05 remaining.
Sage Santangelo posted Bowdoin's first shutout victory with 12
saves. Sternerman ended with 43 stops for Wesleyan. Prior to the
game, Bowdoin honored founding members of the school's women's ice
hockey program with a ceremonial puck drop.
