Bowdoin Football To Open 2015 Campaign Saturday Against Williams

SATURDAY'S GAME
The Bowdoin College football team will open its 124th season Saturday when they host Williams College. Both teams are coming off 2-6 seasons a year ago.

Saturday's game will be the 73rd meeting all-time between the squads and, due to the rotating NESCAC schedule, the first meeting between the teams at Whittier Field in Brunswick since 2011.

 
LIVE COVERAGE
Bowdoin will provide live coverage of Saturday's game via live statistics and video webcast, with instant replay, on the Northeast Sports Network. Links are available above.

 
POLAR BEAR PREVIEW
Saturday marks the beginning of the JB Wells era at Bowdoin as the first-year head coach takes the helm as 29th head coach in the history of the program. He assumes a roster that brings back 14 starters from last year's squad. Among those returning are junior running back Tyler Grant (226 carries, 893 yards, 8 TD), who was the first Polar Bear in league history to lead the NESCAC in rushing in 2014. Senior linebackers Brendan Lawler (55 tackles, 3 fumble recoveries) and Branden Morin (55 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 interception) will pace the Bowdoin defense.

Most recently the head coach at Endicott College (75-48 in 12 seasons), Wells will look to lead the Polar Bears to their first season-opening win since they defeated Middlebury in the 2009 opener. The new head coach will also look to become the first Bowdoin coach to win his first game since Peter Kostacopoulos won his debut in 1965 over WPI.

 
SCOUTING THE EPHS
The Ephs return 13 of 22 starters on both sides of the ball this season, including senior quarterback Austin Lommen (1,495 yds., 7 TD), who ranked third in the NESCAC in passing a year ago. Defensively, Williams brings back senior linebacker James O'Grady (64 tackles) and junior cornerback Justin Harris (42 tackles) from last year's squad.

Head coach Aaron Kelton begins his 6th season in charge of the Ephs. He owns a 21-19 career record as head coach at Williams.

 
LAST MEETING
Last year in Williamstown, the Ephs celebrated the opening of Farley-Lamb Field with a 36-0 victory. Alex Scyocurka rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns to spark a Williams offense that accumulated 403 yards of total offense. Tyler Grant had 58 yards rushing in the loss for Bowdoin, who committed three turnovers and suffered its first shutout loss since 2012.

 
BOWDOIN vs. WILLIAMS
Including the win last autumn, the Ephs have won three consecutive games in the series overall. Bowdoin's last victory came in 2007, 28-14, at Whittier Field. The Ephs hold a 51-15-6 advantage in the all-time series.

Analies Ross-Dyjak netted the Huskies' game-winner for her first intercollegiate goal.
STANDISH, Maine – Junior Analies Ross-Dyjack (Orono, Maine/Environmental Science) scored in the sixth minute and senior goalkeeper Marissa Temple (Grafton, Mass.) made six saves to make it stand as the University of Southern Maine Huskies defeated the St. Joseph's College (Maine) Monks 1-0 in a non-conference women's soccer game Wednesday afternoon.

With the win, Southern Maine halts a two-game slide and bounces back to .500 on the season to stand at 3-3.  St. Joseph's sees its two-game winning streak come to an end and drops to 3-5 on the season.
Ross-Dyjack's goal came on the second shot of the game to quickly put the Huskies up a goal over their in-state rivals.  Ross-Dyjak converted the feed from freshman Sarah Michaud (Candia, N.H./Manchester Central) to earn her first collegiate goal and first game-winning goal.

Ross-Dyjack's early goal proved to be pivotal as both squads were limited in scoring opportunities with the Monks holding a 13-8 edge in shots for the game.

Temple made sure to take advantage of Ross-Dyjak's tally and earned her third shutout of the season to backstop the Huskies to victory.  Temple made four saves in the first half and turned back two more Monk attempts in the second. Equaling her career high of three shutouts set in 2014, Temple now has six shutouts in her career.  Monk starter sophomore Brooke Troup (East Bridgewater, Mass.) took the loss allowing one goal and making a pair of saves in 45 minutes of action.  Senior Michelle Cunha (Enfield, Conn./Enrico Fermi) started the second half for St. Joseph's making a pair of saves.

Southern Maine returns to Little East Conference action on Saturday (1:00 p.m.) hosting UMass Boston.   St. Joseph's hosts St. Joseph's (Conn.) on Saturday (3:00 p.m.) in a GNAC contest.

LEWISTON, Maine -- First-year forward Taylor Lough scored a hat trick -- the first three goals of her college career -- as the Bates field hockey team scored a 4-0 non-conference victory over Thomas College Wednesday evening.

Bates junior Claire Markonic scored the game's initial goal in the second minute and added an assist for the host Bobcats (2-2).

Bates outshot Thomas by a 20-1 margin, including 13-0 in the first half, and the Terriers were unable to get a shot on goal. Abbie Charrier made eight saves for Thomas (3-5), while Bates senior Katie Knox (Bronxville, N.Y.) got the shutout.

On the first penalty corner of the game, Markonic (Millerton, N.Y.) finished off a pass from sophomore Samantha Reiss (New Haven, Vt.) that was poked by a Thomas defender but still found Markonic, who knocked in her second goal of the season.

Bates made it 2-0 in the ninth minute, connecting on four passes on another penalty corner before sophomore Caroline O'Reilly's (Longmeadow, Mass.) dish to Lough (Little Compton, R.I.) resulted in her first goal, scored from close range.

Bates controlled play throughout but didn't score again until five minutes remained, and Lough found the back of the cage on an assist by sophomore Caroline Gettens (Concord, N.H.). She struck once more in the 67th minute from Markonic.

Bates plays back-to-back NESCAC games this weekend, at Wesleyan on Saturday at noon and at Williams Sunday at 11am.
