Bowdoin Remains Unbeaten in Shutout Win Over Wheaton

BRUNSWICK, Maine - The sixth-ranked Bowdoin College field hockey team scored five goals in the first 27:14 en route to a 7-0 shutout win over Wheaton (Mass.) College on Sunday afternoon at Ryan Field. The Polar Bears remained unbeaten this year at 9-0 while the Lyons suffer their second-straight loss and drop to 10-4 this season.

The Polar Bears got into the scoring column within the first six minutes, as Ingrid Oelschlager fed Liz Clegg ahead on a fast break. Clegg finished from the right side of the circle to give Bowdoin a 1-0 lead at 5:26. Cathleen Smith deflected home a Katie Herter shot less than a minute later, at 6:21, to double the Polar Bear lead. Smith found Oelschlager in the 21st minute for a slap shot inside the left post before Kassey Matoin and Katie Riley scored 1:07 apart late in the half to give the hosts a five-goal lead at intermission.

Ella Curren and Matoin added second-half scores to seal the Bowdoin win. Kayla Lessard made one save in net for the Polar Bears, who have posted six shutouts this season. Ellie Massengill stopped 11 shots in net for the Lyons, who are winless in their last 15 meetings with the Polar Bears dating back to 1995.
