BOX SCORE
BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin's Tim Prior scored the game's only goal
as the Polar Bear men's soccer team survived a defensive struggle
against Middlebury on Saturday, 1-0. Bowdoin improves to 4-1-0
(2-1-0 NESCAC) while the Panthers fall to 3-2-1 (1-1-1 NESCAC).
The lone goal came in the 27th minute as a perfectly-played cross
by Dan Chaffetz across the box to the waiting head of Tim Prior,
who headed the delivery into the top-right corner. Bowdoin had a
pair of attempts to push the lead even higher in the first half,
hitting one post and having one offering swept off the goal line by
a Middlebury defender.
Dan Hicks was forced to make only one stop for the Polar Bears in
the shutout. Tim Cahill was credited with two stops for the
Panthers.
