Bowdoin Posts Third-Straight Shutout in Victory Over Southern Maine

BOX SCORE

BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College field hockey team scored five first-half goals en route to a 6-0 win over the University of Southern Maine on Tuesday evening at Ryan Field. The ninth-ranked Polar Bears improve to 3-1 and have outscored their opponents 18-0 over their current three-game win streak. Southern Maine dips to 4-4 with the loss.

Katie Herter got the Polar Bears going just five minutes into the game, putting back a rebound after an initial save by Southern Maine netminder Allison Hill. Six minutes later, Kara Kelley took a feed from Ella Curren and ripped a shot to the bottom right corner to give Bowdoin a 2-0 lead. The Polar Bears converted off a penalty corner in the 19th minute, as a feed from Megan McCullough was set by Shavonne Lord for Curren, who rifled a shot through traffic to give the hosts a three-goal advantage. After Ingrid Oelschlager put home a goal from the right side of the circle later in the period, Kelley finished off the half with a hard, low shot that found the back of the cage to give Bowdoin a 5-0 advantage at the break.

Elisabeth Clegg scored the lone goal of the second half in the 52nd minute for Bowdoin. Emily Neilson made three saves in the opening half for the Polar Bears before giving way to Kayla Lessard, who made two stops in the second period. Hill made 16 stops between the pipes for the Huskies.

Bowdoin's victory is their seventh-straight against the Huskies and improves their mark to 29-6-4 all-time against Southern Maine.
