The men's hockey team, ranked 11th in the latest DIII U.S. Hockey Poll, will face Skidmore on Friday. The team boasts a 3-1 record with wins over UMass-Boston, Salve Regina, Nichols College, and a loss to Babson College.

The Polar Bears rebounded a week later in their first home game of the season, crushing Salve Regina 9-0 as part of the Colby-Bowdoin Face-Off Classic. Junior Greg McConnell and senior Adam Dann led the scoring effort for Bowdoin.
The following day against Nichols College, McConnell and Dann gave the Polar Bears two goals each. John Landry '06 and Steven Thompson '08 added a goal apiece to Bowdoin's 6-2 victory. George Papachristopoulos '06 tended Bowdoin's goal.
Women's Hockey
The Bowdoin Women's Hockey Team will look to rebound from Sunday's 2-1 loss to Manhattanville College in a pair of games at Plattsburgh this weekend. Although the Polar Bears had many solid attempts on goal, the team did not get on the board until the last 12 minutes of play.
Junior Meghan Gillis gave Bowdoin its only goal off a pass from classmate Katie Forney. In goal, senior Cat MacEachern stopped 25 shots. The team is ranked seventh in the latest national DIII poll.
