CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Bowdoin College women's lacrosse team saw its five-game winning streak snapped in a 12-6 setback at MIT on Friday night. The 25^th-ranked Polar Bears stand at 7-4 while the 16th-ranked Engineers move to 10-1.
 
Game Highlights

• The Engineers jumped out quickly, scoring three times in the first 5:04 and outscoring Bowdoin 5-1 in the opening quarter.
• Bowdoin struggled to get its offense going, but stayed within striking distance as its defense clamped down in the second quarter, as the Polar Bears trailed 5-2 at the break and cut it to 5-3 following a Molly Reed goal to open the third.
• After MIT scored twice to open up an 8-4 lead early in the fourth period, Bowdoin answered with goals from Lauren Burke and Emelia Krakora to trim the edge to 8-6 with 8:20 to go.
• That was as close as they would come, however, as MIT rolled off four straight goals to seal the win.

By The Numbers

• Molly Reed led Bowdoin with two goals and an assist with four draw controls.
• Auggie Burke had a caused turnover and two ground balls for Bowdoin, who got nine saves from Izzy Cisneros (50:44), and one stop from Sophie Brett (9:16).
