Bowdoin Stifles Conn College In Third-Straight Shutout

BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College field hockey team scored three times in a span of 11:38 to put away visiting Connecticut College, 3-0, at Ryan Field on Saturday. The unbeaten and sixth-ranked Polar Bears improve to 6-0 (4-0 NESCAC) while the Camels fall to 5-2 (2-2 NESCAC) with the loss.

Bowdoin has not permitted a goal in their last 238:18 of play, dating back to September 18.

After out-shooting the Camels for the majority of the first half, Bowdoin was finally able to convert twice in the final nine minutes before halftime. Cathleen Smith put home a shot from the right wing at 26:55 before Jessie Small received a nice feed from Olivia King on the doorstep and tapped it into the cage for a two-goal lead at intermission.

Bowdoin sealed the win early in the second half as Katie Herter knocked home her team-leading ninth goal of the season at 38:33. Aimee Rich made 13 saves in the loss for the Camels while Emily Neilson was forced to make two stops for the Polar Bears. Bowdoin held a 13-2 edge in penalty corners and 35-4 advantage in shots.
