Bowdoin earns field hockey title

BRUNSWICK — The Bowdoin College field hockey team won a penalty-stroke shootout to claim their third NCAA Division III Championship, 2-1, over Messiah College on Sunday afternoon.

McKenna Teague notched the game-winner as the Polar Bears (20-1) claimed the shootout by a 3-1 margin. It is the third NCAA title in the last four years for Bowdoin.

After Messiah converted on their third round chance to tie strokes at one apiece, Kassey Matoin converted inside the left post to give Bowdoin a 2-1 edge. Messiah missed their fourth-round chance, giving Bowdoin the opportunity. Teague stepped up and deposited the game-winner to the lower-right corner to give the Polar Bears the national championship.

Bears advance in NCAAs

BRUNSWICK — Bowdoin’s Zach Danssaert scored the game-winning goal with one second remaining in overtime to lift the Polar Bear men’s soccer team to their first national semifinal appearance, 2-1, over Middlebury on Sunday afternoon in the NCAA Quarterfinals.

The Polar Bears (15-1-4) earn their school-record 15th win of the season and will face the winner of Lynchburg and Ohio Wesleyan on Friday, Dec. 3, for a berth in the national title match.

The game appeared destined for a second OT until Bowdoin earned a free kick just outside the box with less than 15 seconds remaining in the first OT. The set piece was quickly played into the box to Nick Powell, whose header bounced off the post to Danssaert, who booted the rebound into the top right corner just before the horn sounded.
