BRUNSWICK — Tim Drakeley threw three touchdown passes, including two to Nick Vailas, as Bowdoin beat Colby 35-13 in a New England Small College Athletic Conference football season finale Saturday.
Drakeley finished 24 of 43 for 314 yards as Bowdoin (2-6) jumped out to a 20-0 lead.
Colby (1-7) got on the scoreboard when Gabe Harrington threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Alex Kramer with 1:15 left in the third quarter.
Bowdoin answered on the ensuing possession when Drakeley hit Vailas for his second touchdown of the game.
Jabari Hurdle-Price scored from the 1 on Colby’s next drive, but the extra-point attempt was blocked and Cameron Rondeau returned it 98 yards for two points.
HAMILTON 14, BATES 0: The Continentals (2-6) used a tough defense to down the Bobcats (2-6) at Clinton, New York.
Jason Nastovski scored on a 3-yard run with 12:30 left in the second quarter to give Hamilton a 7-0 lead.
After Pat Donahoe’s 55-yard punt was downed at the Bates 1 later in the half, a bad exchange in the Bobcats’ backfield caused a fumble in the end zone that the Continentals’ Nick Sobczyk pounced on for a defensive touchdown.
Hamilton held Bates to one first down and 11 yards in the second half. The Bobcats finished with 104 total yards.

Chad Martin booted a 37-yard field goal on the Mariners’ first possession of the second half to extend the lead to 10-0, but Nichols cut the deficit to just two points when Bryan Hummel hit Derrick Warren on a 99-yard touchdown pass with just 27 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Ferrar scampered in from the 5 midway through the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
