Bowdoin took home the Codfish Bowl Championship after downing host UMass Boston, 4-2 on Tuesday afternoon.

The Polar Bears (6-1-2) trailed the Beacons (9-4) heading into the first intermission, but came back with a pair of quick goals in the second period and two more in the third. Marissa Fichter was named tournament MVP following the game.

The win was Bowdoin’s second Codfish Bowl title in the tournament’s 10-year history.

The Beacons drew first, scoring 13:49 into the opening period. Grace Fisher put away the feed from Kat Armstrong and Julia Nolan to go ahead 1-0.

Bowdoin scored two goals within 36 seconds midway through the second frame to take a 2-1 lead. At 9:43, Julie Dachille put back a scrum rebound that was initially put on pads by Katie Leininger. Less than a minute later, Fichter cleaned up her own rebound and put a backhander past Rachel Myette.

The Beacons evened the game seconds after a successful Bowdoin penalty kill. Kristen Embrey put a rebound back on net that found space between Sophia Lattanzio and the left post with 4:20 remaining in the middle frame.

Cassidy Pratt’s first goal of the season counted as the game-winner midway through the final period. Capitalizing on a 3-on-2, Tala Glass found Pratt on the left. Pratt walked in and took a shot top shelf to the far side for the 3-2 advantage.

Brooke Solomon iced the game with a solo effort with 1:32 remaining. Solomon broke into Beacon territory, facing a pair of defenders, and wristed a shot bar down on Myette’s stick side to cap the 4-2 victory.

Lattanzio collected her third victory of the season in net for Bowdoin, remaining undefeated, behind a 21-save performance. Myette stopped 42 shots for the Beacons.

Men’s basketball

Jack Bors poured in 23 points off the bench to help lift the Polar Bears to an 88-81 win at Bridgewater State on Tuesday evening.

Bowdoin improved to 7-4 with the win, while the Bears fell to 7-5.

Behind 13 first-half points from Bors and red-hot shooting from long-range (6-of-10 from 3-point range) the Polar Bears built a 44-28 halftime advantage.

Bowdoin pushed its lead to as many as 21 points in the second half.

Down 13 with 2:21 to go, Bridgewater mounted a furious rally, rolling off a 9-1 run to trim the lead to just five points following a Keyon Armstrong trey with under 10 seconds to go.

The rally proved to be too little, too late as Jack Simonds hit three late free throws to seal the victory for Bowdoin.

Bors’ 23-point outburst broke his previous career high of 20 set last season against Colby. He connected on 7-of-9 from the field and went 3- for-3 from beyond the arc. Bowdoin also got double figures from Simonds (17), Hugh O’Neil (15, 11 rebounds) and Blake Gordon (14).

Bridgewater was paced by 17 off the bench from Armstrong.

Bowdoin will open NESCAC play this weekend with home games against Tufts on Friday (7 p.m.) and Bates on Saturday (3 p.m.).
