GOLDEN GOAL

Field hockey forward Faith Jennings ’23 scored in double-overtime to defeat Tufts University (10–5; 7–3 NESCAC) on Tuesday. Jennings received a pass from midfielder Maya Malenfant ’25 and was able to race past her defender and get off a backhanded shot to secure Bowdoin’s 3–2 victory. The tally was Jennings’ ninth of the season, and she was awarded NESCAC Field Hockey Player of the Week on Monday. The two earlier Polar Bear goals came from forward Jill Cloonan ’24 and midfielder Caroline Higgins ’24. The Polar Bears improved to 11–4 (6–4 NESCAC) and earned the sixth seed in the NESCAC tournament. Bowdoin will play third-seeded Trinity College (12–3; 7–3 NESCAC) in a NESCAC Quarterfinal game tomorrow in Hartford.
