The Bowdoin Women's Hockey Team finished the weekend feeling unsatisfied, as they posted two tie games against Wesleyan and Hamilton. The score for both games was 2-2.
According to the Polar Bears, the games were frustrating.
"I think it was a little disappointing to everyone that we didn't come away from the weekend with two wins, especially because we were the stronger team in both games," Caroline Currie '08 said, "but sometimes the puck just doesn't bounce in your favor."
The 2-2 tie against Hamilton marked the second time the Bears and the Continentals have come to an inconsequential finale this season.
For Bowdoin, co-captain Katie Coyne '08 scored her fifth goal of the season and Lindsay McNamara '09 scored the other goal. Emileigh Mercer '09 stopped 27 of the Continentals' shots while in goal for the Polar Bears. Unfortunately, the Polar Bears were unable to pull off the victory in either the third period or in overtime.
The Wesleyan tie was also a disappointing game, as it marked the first non-victory for the Bears over the Cardinals in ten years. The game was the second time that the Polar Bears and the Cardinals had met this season, with the previous game resulting in a 6-1 victory for the Bears.
Currie had an assist and one goal, giving her two points, a season high, on the game. Currie, now with 12 points on the season, joins McNamara and Jill Campbell '11 with the highest points on the team.
"I think it is pretty cool that one of the girls I am tied with is my line-mate. We work really well together, and to me, those statistics only show how well we connect," Currie said.
First year Michaela Calnan scored the second goal for the Bears.
Determined to leave these games in the past, the team is looking forward to upcoming contests. "At this point, we just need to keep moving forward and focus on what's ahead," Currie said.
The Polar Bears' game against Colby has been postponed until February 19, but the Bears will play Trinity at home this weekend.
"We are looking to play 60 minutes of Polar Bear hockey," Currie said, "When we play our game, we are unstoppable."
