The Polar Bears will continue their season with a game on October 7 against University of New England.

Down to overtime: Field hockey had a dramatic 0-1 loss against rivals Middlebury (5-2, NESCAC 3-1) in double overtime on Saturday, dropping their NESCAC records to 3-2. Middlebury had 25 shots compared to Bowdoin’s eight, but Madeline Ferrucci ’21 made an impressive 14 saves during the game, her career best.

One more lap: The track and cross-country teams opened the newly renovated Magee-Samuelson Track on Wednesday evening, inviting alumni, including Olympic gold-medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson ’79, to come and run a commemorative lap. The track was updated as part of the renovation of the Whittier Field facility and was remodeled to include eight lanes, giving Bowdoin the capacity to host larger championship events. The cross-country team will compete in the Bowdoin Invitational II this weekend, with another similar alumni event celebrating the new track before the invite on Saturday.
