SEVENTH HEAVEN

After a string of three straight ties, the men’s soccer team (3-1-3, 0-1-3 NESCAC) got back to its winning ways with an emphatic 6-1 win at home over the University of Southern Maine (0-7-2). Jason Oliver ’20 opened his collegiate scoring account less than a minute into the game and Charlie Ward ’22 netted a hat-trick, scoring three goals in the first 20 minutes of the second half.

NO BLUES AGAINST THE BLUES

The field hockey team cruised to a dominant 5-0 victory at Wellesley (4-4) on Tuesday, bringing their record to 6-1 for the season. Coming off a weekend victory over Wesleyan (4-4), the Polar Bears jumped to an early lead off a goal from Manveer Sandhu ’22 and never looked back. Bowdoin held an 18-1 shot advantage, and Emma Stevens ’20 padded her stat sheet with two goals and an assist to complete the victory over the Blues.

OVER THE HUMP

Following a shaky start to this fall’s campaign, the volleyball team got back in the win column with a 3-0 victory over Connecticut College (4-6-0) last Saturday. Following a 3-5 start to the season, the Polar Bears generated momentum early and carried it all the way through against the Camels, earning a crucial first NESCAC win to bring their conference record to 1-1. Emily King ’21 dominated with 19 digs, and Caroline Flaharty ’20 added 11 of her own in addition to 10 kills.
