Less than two minutes later, Jessie Small (Wayne, PA) put home a rebound to make it 2-0 and followed it up with a deflection off an Elizabeth Clegg (Hudson, OH) drive to give the Polar Bears a three-goal lead at the half.

 The second half was more of the same, as the Polar Bears scored twice in 30 seconds. Kara Kelley (Dedham, ME) ripped a shot from the top left side of the circle at 48:51 before Clegg beat her defender and backhanded a shot into the cage at 49:21. Cathleen Smith (Larchmont, NY) rounded out the scoring with a goal at 68:24 for Bowdoin.

 Husson's Kristen Capen (Fy., Leeds, ME) stopped 13 shots in the loss while Emily Neilson (one save) and Kayla Lessard (zero saves) shared the shutout for the Polar Bears. Bowdoin out-shot Husson 36-1 and held an 18-1 edge in penalty corners.
