BIDDEFORD — The Bowdoin College men’s soccer team scored a pair of goals early in the match and put the game away with five second half tallies on its way to a season-opening 7-0 victory over the University of New England in a non-conference match played Tuesday evening under the lights at Barbara J. Hazard Field.

The Polar Bears jumped on top on a Connor Keefe goal just 4:04 into the game on an assist from Andrew Jones.

Bowdoin (1-0) made it a 2-0 contest in the 18th minute as Jones deposited a high leftfooted shot from the top of the box just under the crossbar.

The visitors carried that 2-0 advantage into intermission after leading 10-3 in shots over the first 45 minutes.

The second half began with a goal from Moctar Niang off a corner kick, and Jones’ second marker less than three minutes later made it a 4-0 contest.

Bowdoin closed out the scoring on goals by Cedric Charlier, Riley Bubb and Nick DiStefano (penalty kick).

Stevie Van Siclen had one save in 82 minutes. Kyle Gurtowski played the rest of the way with no saves.

Elijah Leverett had four saves for UNE (1-2).
