Hartford, Conn. – Senior co-captain midfielder Ella Curren (Roxbury, Conn.) scored the only goal of the game on an assist by senior forward McKenna Teague (Cohasset, Mass.) to lead the visiting Bowdoin College Polar Bears to a 1-0 victory over the Trinity College Bantams in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) field hockey action this afternoon on Sheppard Field.  Trinity, ranked No. 5 in New England West and No. 15 in the nation, falls to 9-4 overall and 5-4 in the NESCAC, while Bowdoin improves to 13-0 overall and 9-0 in the league.  Trinity falls out of contention for a home game in the NESCAC Championship Quarterfinals next weekend.  The Polar Bears, ranked No. 1 in New England West and No. 2 nationally, earn the top seed in the league's championship tournament with its 18th victory in a row.  Trinity senior captain goalkeeper Gina Dinallo (West Hartford, Conn.) made six saves, while junior Kayla Lessard (Enfield, Conn.) had one save in the Bowdoin cage.
