Herter Scores Game-Winner as Bowdoin Blanks Williams Again

BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College field hockey team dominated from start-to-finish, but needed a late score from Katie Herter to seal a 1-0 win at Williams on Saturday. The sixth-ranked Polar Bears remained one of three unbeaten teams in Division III field hockey in improving to 11-0 (7-0 NESCAC) this fall. Williams drops to 2-8 (1-6 NESCAC).

The Polar Bears suffocated the Ephs, holding a 23-3 shot advantage and 19-0 lead in corners, but had trouble finding the back of the cage until Herter pounced on a rebound with 10:37 remaining. The goal was Herter's team-leading 12th of the season and third game-winning tally.

Emily Neilson was forced to make just a single save in the victory. Katrina Tulla kept her team in the game with an 11-save performance for Williams. The Polar Bears have beaten Williams nine straight times dating back to 2004 and have not allowed a goal to the Ephs since 2007.

Bowdoin will return to action Wednesday night at Husson before returning to Ryan Field for a key Senior Day battle against Trinity.
