The Bowdoin Orient

While cold winter conditions continue to lay siege to campus, the Polar Bears kept things hot on the ice in the last weekend of the regular season. Bowdoin strolled to a 4-1 win last Friday against St. Michael's College and fell just short Saturday, losing 2-1 to Norwich University. On Friday, Bowdoin scored early as Kit Smith '11 lit the lamp with 4:28 gone in the first period. In what would prove to be a good game, Kyle Hardy '11 notched the assist on that goal.

The men's hockey team twice battled its way into overtime last weekend, beating Hamilton on Friday and then slipping to Amherst on Saturday. "We played really hard," said Mike Corbelle '10. "We showed a lot more grit than we had for a lot of the rest of the season." On Friday, the Continentals took the lead early in the first period with only 31 seconds elapsed. Colin MacCormack '10 struck back with only eight seconds remaining in the first on a power play.

The men's hockey team fell through the ice last weekend as they lost to Connecticut College and Tufts University, 3-1 and 5-3, respectively. Last Friday in New London, Connecticut College carried a precarious 1-0 lead into the second intermission. However, the Camels exploded out after the break with a goal just 16 seconds into the period. Leland Fidler '10 responded with a short-handed, unassisted goal at 9:40, but the Camels fought back just under a minute later with their third and the game's final goal at 10:39.

The high-flying men's hockey team was brought down to Earth following a weekend of difficult away games. The Polar Bears defeated Castleton Friday night 5-3 before slipping Saturday in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., in a 6-4 loss against Skidmore, their first loss of the season. The Bears were quick to establish a first period lead against Castleton as Brunswick native Kit Smith '11 notched the game's first goal at 12:35.
