BRUNSWICK, Maine – The Trinity College volleyball team was swept by Bowdoin College, 3-0 on Friday night (25-14, 25-19, 25-22).

Trinity travels to Massachusetts tomorrow for a 1 p.m. tilt at Tufts University.
 
Bowdoin jumped out to an early lead, with the Bantams trailing by as many at 10 before falling 25-14 in the night's opening set. Trinity fought back, producing more competitive sets in two and three. The Bantams posted an early five-point run in the second and jumped out to a 4-1 lead to start the third which proved to be the most exciting of the night, seeing seven lead changes. 
 
Trinity held the advantage in kills at 35-28 but 10 total Bowdoin service aces, seven of which came from senior Sophia Pahl, and 10 total blocks proved to be the difference maker.
