Sixth-seeded Trinity ends its season with a record of 8-7.

Less than eight minutes later, Rachel Kennedy stole a ball at midfield and carried it into the Trinity zone, centering a pass to Riley, who finished it off for a 2-0 lead at the Polar Bears would carry into halftime.

Bowdoin put the contest out of reach with a four-goal surge in the second period. Riley scored the first two goals of the second half as well, accepting another pass from Kennedy and scoring 1:38 into the half. Riley then knocked home a Colleen Finnerty shot that hit the post at 41:35. Finnerty put home a penalty corner for Bowdoin at 51:25 before Pam Herter rounded out the Bowdoin scoring, making it 6-0, at 57:16.
