BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College women's ice hockey team played another one-goal game on Saturday afternoon, but this time came out on top, defeating Colby 3-2. The victory snapped a string of three straight one-goal losses and improved the Polar Bears to 3-3 on the season. The Polar Bears are ranked ninth in the latest national poll, while Colby drops to 3-2 this season.

Bowdoin took the lead late in the opening period when Meghan Gillis took a feed from Sam Stewart on a breakaway and backhanded it into the net for a 1-0 Polar Bear lead at 17:20. The Polar Bears were hampered with a handful of penalties to open the second frame and Colby finally took advantage, as Laura Clemson took a nice feed from Colette Finley to tie the game at 11:46 of the period.

Bowdoin regained the lead late in the stanza on a powerplay goal at 18:26. Kristen Cameron passed the puck to Lydia Hawkins on the wing for a one-timer that slipped inside the post for a 2-1 Polar Bear lead.

A turnover in the neutral zone led to a game-tying goal early in the third period. Laura Goethels collected the puck at the Bowdoin blue-line and skated in alone on Cat MacEachern. Goethels backhanded the puck to the top of the net to deadlock the game at 1:23 of the frame. Kristen Cameron put Bowdoin on top for good with a powerplay goal at 5:09 on a blazing slapshot to the top-left corner.

MacEachern made 24 saves in net for Bowdoin, while Genevieve Triganne stopped 35 shots in goal for the Mules.
