BRUNSWICK, Maine – The Bowdoin men's ice hockey team captured its first win against Colby in Watson Arena since 2015 with a commanding 5-1 Saturday night victory.

The Polar Bears climb to 11-4-3 (7-2-3) and are 2-0-1 against Colby (6-9-3, 2-7-3 NESCAC) in their last three matchups.

Game Highlights

Bowdoin jumped out to an early lead at 3:05 as Luke Wheeler started the play with a faceoff win on the right dot. Wheeler kicked the win back to Jack Gilligan who rifled a shot on pads. Gabe Shipper jumped on the rebound to put Bowdoin on top.
Jesse Lycan made it 2-0 at 7:08. The play started back in the Bowdoin zone as Alex Kozic blockered the puck to Michael Dinges. Dinges saucered a pass up ice to Will Forrest who carried into Colby territory. Once he was behind the net, Forrest backhanded a pass to Lycan who skated on and had an uncontested look at Andy Beran.
Shipper added his second of the game midway through the frame. Again, Wheeler won a faceoff back to Gilligan. Gilligan fired toward net and Shipper deflected the puck past Beran.
Wheeler tallied his third assist of the game as Bowdoin made it 4-0 at 6:05 in the second. Wheeler saved the puck to keep it in Colby's zone and passed left to James Cerepak. Cerepak drew the goalie and dished right to Richard Davis for a one-timer.
Colby tallied a shorthanded goal with under four minutes remaining as Griffin Grise took the puck the length of the ice and flipped an offspeed shot over Kozic.
Bowdoin capped the game with 33 seconds remaining on a Michael Dinges goal to make it 5-1.
