BRUNSWICK – Bowdoin sacked Hamilton six times and set a school record by holding the Continentals to negative rushing yardage in a 20-7 homecoming victory on Saturday.

Peter Troubh had three sacks and led a defense that allowed minus-34 yards on the ground, breaking the previous mark of minus-17 set in 1975 against Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Running back Zach Donnarumma gained 79 yards to lead the Polar Bears (2-2), who finished with 146 yards rushing.

Bowdoin took an early lead on a 27-yard field goal by Jimmy Garvey after recovering a fumble by the Continentals (2-2) on their first play from scrimmage.

The Polar Bears went up 10-0 with a 14-play, 74-yard drive capped by Kevin Miao’s 1-yard run early in the second quarter and went into halftime with a 10-7 lead.

Quarterback Mac Caputi, who replaced injured starter Grant White in the second period, moved the Polar Bears to another touchdown with a drive featuring a 24-yard pass to Sean O’Malley and capped by an 18-yarder to Michael English for a 17-7 lead.

The Polar Bears’ defense took over from there, holding Hamilton to 49 yards of total offense and racking up five sacks in the second half. Garvey nailed a 22-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to seal the win.

Hamilton QB Jordan Eck was 30 of 40 for 226 yards and a touchdown
