BRUNSWICK — The Bowdoin College field hockey team remained perfect, collecting its fifth win in a 4-0 shutout over UMaine-Farmington on Thursday evening.

The top-ranked Polar Bears pushed their consecutive home win streak to 44 games. The Beavers fell 3-3 following the loss.

Bowdoin went up early with a goal off the stick of Adrienne O’Donnell just 2:52 into the contest. Picking the ball off from a Farmington defender in the circle, O’Donnell charged towards the net and flipped a shot past goalie Alyssa Arsenault for the 1-0 lead.

O’Donnell earned an assist on Bowdoin’s second goal 10 minutes later. Carving the end line, she dished a perfect pass to Emily Simonton as she cut into space beyond the stroke line and one-timed a sweep into Farmington’s cage.

Simonton stormed down the field for her second goal of the game less than a minute later.

Receiving a feed at the top of the circle and making a move to the right to beat her defender, Simonton took a low angle shot from the right side which snuck between Arsenault and the post.

Arsenault played the opening half in net for Farmington, collecting seven saves, before giving way to Patricia Smith in the second (eight saves).

Bowdoin’s Hannah Gartner played all 70 minutes for the Polar Bears. Bowdoin outshot Farmington, 30-0 and held an 11-0 edge in corners.
