BRUNSWICK, Maine – The Bowdoin field hockey team collected its first NESCAC win of the season in a 3-1 midweek matchup against Bates on Tuesday evening.

  • Jennings added an insurance goal three minutes into the final frame. Bashaw carried into the circle and swept the ball towards Jennings for a spinning goal.
