    The Bowdoin football squad ended their winless season last Saturday in Waterville, Maine as the Colby Mules (7-1) bested the Polar Bears 34-7 before a crowd of 1500. The win also gave the CBB Championship to the Mules as they proved their supremacy over Bates and Bowdoin this season.
    Bowdoin linebacker, Sean Lannigan ‘01, sparked his team early in the first quarter. He intercepted a Pat Conley pass and ran it back 55 yards for a Polar Bear touchdown and a 7-0 lead.
    However, the momentum quickly turned as Colby rattled off 34 unanswered points. With 5:58 left in the first, Conley connected with Don Williams for a 5-yard TD pass to tie up the contest. Rashad Lewis upped the lead as he ripped through the Polar Bears’ defense for a 22-yard touchdown. Colby then connected on a field goal with only 46 seconds left in the half for a 17-7 lead.
