BRUNSWICK, Maine – The Bowdoin College women's squash team is the sixth seed for the upcoming NESCAC Championship Tournament scheduled for this weekend at Amherst College.
 
Bowdoin is the No. 6 seed for the third consecutive season and will play No. 3 Middlebury to open its NESCAC Championship Saturday at noon.
