#1 Middlebury Breezes Past #13 Bowdoin

The top-ranked Middlebury field hockey team scored on four of its six shots, breezing past 13th-ranked Bowdoin 4-0. The victory marked the 10th-straight triumph for the Panthers over the Polar Bears.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
  • The Panthers took an early 1-0 lead as part of a penalty corner. Amy Griffin drove to her right, finding Meg Shelburne just inside the circle. Shelburne ripped a blast from 12 yards that tucked inside the left post with 5:18 elapsed.
  • The Polar Bears strung together four penalty corners at the midway point of the quarter but were unable to muster a quality scoring chance. 
  • Much of the second quarter was played in the midfield, with the Polar Bears' best scoring chance coming five minutes into action as part of a penalty corner. A low shot from Sophia Rosati hit the outside of the goal on the right.
  • In the third quarter, Bowdoin had its greatest opportunity at the five-minute mark on a penalty corner. Rosati laced a hard shot from the left that Middlebury goalie Grace Harlan kicked away with her right pad. Rosati's ensuing shot later missed just wide left.
  • The Panthers doubled their lead less than a minute later when Griffin blasted a backhanded shot from the left side that blazed past Arsenault with 5:17 gone in the quarter.
  • Middlebury made it a 3-0 game with 3:02 showing on the clock in the third quarter when Audrey Lazar tapped in a cross on the doorstep following a quick pass from Caroline Segal.
  • The Panthers increased their advantage to 4-0 with 5:23 gone in the fourth quarter when Griffin slipped a shot into the right side of the goal.
  • Neither team mustered any scoring chances over the final minutes, as Middlebury eased to the 4-0 victory.
 
NOTES

  • The win was Middlebury's 36th straight triumph, marking the nation's longest streak.
  • The Panthers have claimed victories in 13-straight true road games dating back to 2019.
