Bowdoin earned its 10th win this season against Trinity, which combined with  a tie at Tufts this week, pushes the women’s soccer team up to the fourth seed in the NESCAC. Because of this success, the Polar Bears will host a NESCAC quarterfinal match this Saturday.
Bowdoin defeated Trinity on Saturday in a 2-1 victory. In the opening half, Bowdoin outshot Trinity 8-4, Alexa Yurick ’15 scored in the first minutes  and carried the 1-0 lead into the break.  Junior Molly Popolizio secured the win by scoring a goal in the last fifteen minutes of play.  
On Tuesday, Bowdoin faced Tufts in its last conference game of the year. The Jumbos have been at the bottom of the NESCAC since the beginning of the season but fought hard in the match, securing a 1-1 tie.
Tufts took an early lead, sneaking a shot by the Bowdoin keeper just 35 seconds into play. Bowdoin was unable to retaliate until after the intermission, when Kiersten Turner ’16 chased after a ball that had bounced into the box, burying the ball in the back of the Tufts net and tying up the score at 1-1. The point against Tufts was Turner’s sixth this season, putting her in the leading scoring position for the team.
The match then went into two periods of overtime, in which neither team was able to score. 
The Polar Bears finish the regular season with an overall record of 10-3-1 (6-3-1 NESCAC).
In order to prepare for the upcoming Hamilton match, Head Coach Brianne Weaver says the team won’t be making any kind of drastic adjustments.
“There’s a lot of fine-tuning to be done at this time in the year, but because we’ve had a lot of success, we aren’t going to make any big changes in the way we play our game,” she said. 
Bowdon will face Hamilton, who they beat narrowly earlier in the season, in the NESCAC quarterfinals this Saturday.
