BRUNSWICK, Maine - Six different players scored as the Bowdoin
College men's soccer team dispatched Saint
Joseph's College on Sunday afternoon at Pickard Field, 6-0.
The Polar Bears have won three straight and improve to 4-1-2
overall this season while the Monks drop to 5-5-2.
Bowdoin wasted little time in taking control of the contest, as Ben
Brewster blasted home a rebound off a Nick Powell chance 9:30 into
the game for his first career goal. The Polar Bears were able to
double their lead by intermission as Tim Prior lifted a long
crossing pass into
the box to Michael Gale, who settled and ripped a chance to the
lower-right corner to give the hosts a 2-0 lead at
intermission.
The Polar Bears scored four times in the second half to put the
game out of reach. Just five minutes into the second period, Daniel
Chaffetz launched a long throw into the box to Call Nichols, who
tapped it to a wide open Ben Denton-Schneider for a goal at 50:50.
Tim Prior finished off a scrum at 54:46 before first-years Alex
Marecki and Evan Gershkovich both tallied their first collegiate
goals in the final five minutes of play.
Nick Campasano played valiantly in net for the Monks, withstanding
constant Bowdoin pressure to make ten saves. The Polar Bears, who
held a 37-3 edge in shots, played three goaltenders - Dan Hicks (65
minutes, one save), Will Wise (21 minutes, one save) and Eric
Edelman (four
minutes, no saves).
