BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin senior co-captain Ben Denton-Schneider scored the game-winning goal with less than seven minutes remaining to give the Polar Bears a 2-1 victory over Connecticut College on Saturday afternoon. The Polar Bears improve to 3-1-2 (2-1-2 NESCAC) this season with the win while the Camels drop to 3-3-1 overall (1-2-1 NESCAC).

Despite being out-shot 7-3 in the opening period, it was the Camels who found the back of the net first, in the 38th minute. A scramble in the box resulted in the ball coming to the foot of Randy Pearce, who chipped a perfectly-placed pass to Trevor Prophet, who headed it into the goal to give the visitors a 1-0 lead at intermission.

Bowdoin answered shortly after halftime, as Tim Prior blasted a corner kick to the box, where Sean Bishop streaked in and headed home his first goal of the season to deadlock the score at 46:05. Bowdoin continued to control the tempo, out-shooting the Camels 8-3 in the second period, but couldn't find the go-ahead goal until late.

Off a free kick with just under seven minutes to go, Eddie Jones played the ball to Prior, who lofted another neatly-placed crossing pass into the box for Denton-Schneider, who headed home the clinching score.

Casey Marini played valiantly in net for the Camels, making eight saves. Dan Hicks made one save in the victory for Bowdoin.
