Three teams finished their seasons since the Orient last published, on March 2: the women's basketball team and both hockey teams.
The women's basketball team fell in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division III tournament on March 10 to Mary Washington. The game, held in Scranton, Pennsylvania, seemed all locked up for the Polar Bears at points in the second half, but Mary Washington came back to win 64-59.
Mary Washington would go on to lose to DePauw in the Final Four, and DePauw would take home the championship in a final round victory over Washington University.
Last year, Bowdoin was also stopped in the Elite Eight of the tournament.
The men's hockey team lost the NESCAC final to Middlebury on March 4. The 4-2 loss in Dayton Arena saw 1,922 attendees, but the home crowd wasn't enough to lift the Bears past the Panthers.
Middlebury went on to use its automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament (10 teams were invited) to go all the way to the finals, finally losing to champion Oswego, 4-3 in overtime.
Many students were looking forward to an ultimate Bowdoin-Colby matchup, but the Panthers upset the Mules 4-3 at Dayton to foil those plans.
The women's hockey team lost to eventual NESCAC champion Amherst in the tournament semifinals on March 3, 3-2 in overtime. The Jeffs defeated Middlebury in a climactic triple-overtime final.
