BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College men's basketball team celebrated Senior Day in style by nailing 16 three-pointers in a 95-52 victory over Connecticut College on Saturday at Morrell Gymnasium.

The Polar Bears improve to 17-7 (5-5 NESCAC) and earn the sixth seed for the upcoming NESCAC Tournament. Bowdoin will travel to play at third-seeded Wesleyan next Saturday in the quarterfinals. More information will be posted on Monday. The Camels (8-16, 1-9 NESCAC) miss out on the conference tournament.

Four Bowdoin players saw double figures, led by 21 from Wyatt Littles, who connected on 5-6 from long range. Ryan O'Connell netted 17 points while Andrew Madlinger posted 12 and Tom Carter had 11. Will Hanley had seven points, seven rebounds, eight assists, four steals and two blocks for the Polar Bears. Matt Vadas led the way off the bench for the Camels by scoring 22 points.

Bowdoin wasted little time taking complete control of the contest. The Polar Bears led 17-8 after five minutes and used an 11-0 run before intermission to take a commanding 46-19 edge into the break. The Polar Bears continued to roll in the second half, leading by as many as 44 points in the second half.
 
The 16 three-pointers by Bowdoin was three shy of the school record of 19 set in 2007. The Polar Bears connected on a scalding 66% of their shots from the field and 64% from three-point range. Ironically, Bowdoin hit just 56% (9-16) from the free-throw line. The Polar Bears out-rebounded the Camels 40-22 as the visitors struggled to find their stroke from the field, hitting just 35% of their shots and going 4-22 from three-point range.

In a pregame ceremony, Bowdoin honored their senior class of Will Hanley, Ryan O'Connell, Wyatt Littles, Justin Nowell and Tom Carter.
