BOSTON, Mass. – The Bowdoin women's ice hockey team took home the Codfish Bowl Championship after downing host UMass Boston 4-2 in the Tuesday afternoon final.

The Polar Bears (6-1-2) trailed the Beacons (9-4-0) heading into the first intermission, but came back with a pair of quick goals in the second period and two more in the third. Marissa Fichter was named tournament MVP following the game. The win was Bowdoin's second Codfish Bowl Championship in the tournament's ten year history.
