BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College men's soccer team reached
the ten-win plateau as five different players scored in a 5-0 win
against Colby-Sawyer on Sunday afternoon. The Polar Bears, ranked
14th in the latest Division III poll, improve to 10-1-2 and win
their ninth consecutive outing. The Chargers fall to 7-8-3 with the
loss.
Bowdoin controlled the pace of play from the start, and found the
back of the net just 6:47 in when Nick Powell headed a nifty cross
from Zach Danssaert into the net for a one-goal lead. Colby-Sawyer
netminder Will Berry kept his team close through the remainder of
the period, stopping eight shots - several in spectacular fashion -
before the Polar Bears were able to break through again shortly
before intermission. Tim Prior juggled the ball at the top of the
box, deked his defender out of position and rifled a low shot that
bent around the outstretched arms of Berry for a two-goal lead at
the break.
Call Nichols accepted a feed from Prior in the 53rd minute to
notch his second goal of the season before Greg Frechette knocked
home his first goal of the season with five minutes remaining. Zach
Ostrup rounded out the scoring with a ball that deflected off a
Colby-Sawyer defender in the 87th minute.
Berry made 13 saves in all for the Chargers, who were out-shot
23-6 and out-cornered 9-2. Will Wise got the start for Bowdoin in
net and was not forced to make a save in 70 minutes before giving
way to Peter Kelley, who stopped one shot in the final 20.
Bowdoin will close out their regular season on Friday when they
travel to play at Tufts. Colby-Sawyer will round out their regular
season on Wednesday against Wentworth.
