Game Highlights

• The Polar Bears continued their early scoring trend with a goal at 4:44 in the first period. Andy Stoneman poked the puck off a Continental player just inside Bowdoin's own zone. Stoneman skated the opposite direction and set up a two-on-one. Stoneman drew the goalie to the left post and dished right to Gabe Shipper who redirected the puck to make it 1-0.
• Bowdoin nearly converted seconds after killing a penalty in the second period. Jack Moore came out of the box and quickly received a feed behind the defense to take an uncontested move towards net. Moore rang his wrister off the post.
• Shipper and Stoneman reversed roles to net Bowdoin's second goal with 2:04 remaining in the period. Shipper fired a shot from the high side of the left circle that was initially saved. The rebound kicked out to Stoneman just up from the far post who put the puck away.
