Match Highlights

• Bowdoin stayed with the reigning D-II champs for the majority of the contest, using a strong kicking game and forcing AIC into corners for challenging conversions.
• AIC scored 17 first half points and used a stand right before halftime to take that edge into intermission.
• The Yellow Jackets pulled away with a 26-point second half surge to put the contest out of reach.
