The Polar Bears took command early with a 5-0 run over a

contest. The teams battled back and forth over the next 13 minutes,
with Bowdoin pulling out to an 11-5 lead with seven minutes to play
in the half.
From there, the Bishops rattled off the next six goals, including

the second period. A McKenna Teague goal gave Bowdoin the lead, but
Abbey Miller tied it for a second time after OWU won the ensuing
draw and scored 24 seconds later.
Bowdoin won the next draw but was unable to convert; OWU had a
chance to take the lead but turned the ball over. A four-goal spurt
by Bowdoin in a three-minute span gave the Polar Bears some
breathing room.
