Bowdoin College, College Hockey

cf9The Bowdoin College, women’s hockey team, are the 2013 NESCAC Champions, as they get the win 2-1 over Middlebury, Panthers.

Polar Bears forward Colleen Finnerty, recalls the final moments of the game, “It was all a little surreal. The time seemed to pass quickly in the third after we scored the second goal, but once the clock hit 3 minutes, time froze. A thirty-second shift on the ice felt immensely longer. When Middlebury called the time-out with just under 5 seconds on the clock, we could taste the win. All we had to do was tie up and win the face-off and that was it. When the buzzer finally sounded, there was this feeling of happiness and a sense of relief. We had finally done it.”

MF30With only seconds left on the clock Williams was attacking the net then the buzzer rang and the Polar Bears became the 2013 NESCAC Champions. “When I deflected the puck into the corner with about five seconds left it seemed like everyone stopped skating. Then I heard the buzzer and the roar of our fans. It was a feeling that was five months in the making, and I knew there was no place I rather be than celebrating with my teammates, coaches and our fans.”

 

Bowdoin had faced off against Williams twice in the regular season, “Those games showed me that we matched up well against Williams, but also showed us that Williams was a very good team. I also saw that our forwards could score even though Williams had the top defense in the NESCAC. More importantly, I also knew our defense could keep them off the board as well.”
