BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College women's ice hockey team rallied from a two-goal first period deficit to complete a weekend sweep of Trinity with a 5-2 win on Saturday at Sidney J. Watson Arena.

Following Friday night's 5-0 loss, Trinity came out firing in the opening period on Saturday. Emily Kleidon picked up a loose puck in front and banged a shot past Lessard just 3:24 into the contest before Macauly Bauer capitalized on a 3-1 opportunity and blasted a slap shot to the top left corner at 11:47 that gave the Bantams a two-goal edge.

After pinning Trinity in their defensive zone to open the second period, Bowdoin finally found the back of the net and reduced their deficit to 2-1.  Stephanie Ludy received a centering pass from Dominque Lozzi and scored between the legs of the Trinity's Alexa Pujol at 7:51.  Bowdoin tied the game with Lozzi's quick shot off the face off, catching Trinity's Pujol off guard at 11:53.  Bowdoin took the lead at 15:39 when Kayte Holtz forced a turnover deep in the zone and fed Chelsea MacNeil on the back door for the goal.
