Hicks Heroic as Bowdoin Tips Nationally-Ranked Trinity

HARTFORD, Conn. - Rookie Zach Ostrup and junior goalkeeper Dan Hicks each scored their first collegiate goal to lead the Bowdoin College men's soccer team to a 2-0 win over Trinity College Saturday on Campus Field. Trinity, ranked No. 11 in the nation, falls to 10-2-1 overall and 5-2-1 in the league and has its five-game winning streak snapped, while Bowdoin improves to 9-3-1 and 4-3-1 in the NESCAC.

Ostrup scored the eventual game-winner in the 35th minute of the game, which, thanks to Hicks, was all the Polar Bears would need.

In perhaps the most critical moment of the game, Hicks made a diving save on a penalty shot after a handball inside the box was called against the Polar Bears. Bowdoin's netminder deflected the shot high and to the right to preserve a 1-0 lead late with under ten minutes to play. Moments later, Hicks took advantage of a slick field with a long distance goal of his own, scoring on a free kick that bounced over the head of Trinity sophomore goalkeeper Grant Schonberg, who misjudged the boot.

Hicks finished the game with seven saves for his sixth shutout of the season. Schonberg made three saves for the Bantams.
