HOT
Bowdoin (+3)
The Polar Bears nailed a 3-0 week, dispatching of Endicott and Williams by identical 14-5 scores on back-to-back days before stunning then-No. 1 Middlebury, 11-10, in overtime Saturday. Bowdoin rallied from a three-goal second-half deficit to take a 10-9 lead and withstood the Panthers’ momentum when Hollis Perticone tied the game with 2.2 seconds left in regulation on a free-position shot. Annie Glenn won it for the Bears in OT.
NOT
St. John Fisher (-8)
The Cardinals Tuesday dropped a double-overtime heartbreaker at then-No. 11 William Smith, 6-5, before being welcomed into Empire Eight Conference play by Stevens to the tune of a 15-9 defeat. St. John Fisher ends a three-game road trip Wednesday at No. 3 Brockport.
NEW
Hamilton
The Continentals return after a 3-0 week that included a 7-4 road win at NESCAC rival Amherst Saturday. Hamilton is 3-1 in league play, and its loss was by one goal. The Continentals have three straight at home against conference rivals coming up, starting Saturday against Bates.
OUT
Mary Washington
Mary Washington exits after a 10-6 loss at then No. 13 York in Capital Athletic Conference play Saturday. The Eagles’ offense has proven inconsistent, averaging 14.4 goals in seven wins and 5.8 goals in four losses. They need a win at Christopher Newport Wednesday if they have hopes of catching Salisbury and York in the CAC.
