Polar Bears Complete CBB Sweep With 3-1 Win Over Bates

BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College women's volleyball team completed a season sweep of Bates on Tuesday evening in a 3-1 victory over the Bobcats at Morrell Gymnasium. Behind a 14-kill, 17-dig, four-ace effort from Hillary Cederna, the Polar Bears improved to 12-5 this season while Bates dropped to 5-10 on the year.

Bowdoin won by set scores of 25-18, 25-21, 22-25 and 25-9. In addition to Cederna, Bowdoin received 12 kills from Kristin Hanczor and 10 from Ellie Brennan. Stephanie Bond dished out 48 assists while Taylor Vail racked up 22 digs in the victory.

Bates was led by seven kills and 11 digs from Chrissy Gee. Eliza Pyne also had seven kills while Nicole Russell added five kills and 14 digs. Grace Hassler carded 21 assists and two aces for the Bobcats.

With the win, the Polar Bears claim the CBB crown by going 4-0 this season against rivals Bates and Colby. Additionally, Bowdoin's Stephanie Drumright added to her school-record total for blocks. Broken last weekend at Wesleyan, Drumright now has 315 total career blocks, surpassing the mark of 308 formerly held by Erin Prifogle '07.
