The Bowdoin women’s basketball team completed its third undefeated regular season in program history after Saturday’s 57-37 road win over Trinity.

Sophomore forward Abbie Quinn led the way for the Polar Bears with 19 points and seven rebounds. Freshman guard Grace Kinum ended the night with 15 points and eight rebounds, while senior guard Sydney Jones added eight points and five assists.

Bowdoin (24-0, 10-0), the third-ranked team in the nation by d3hoops.com, is the first NESCAC team to finish conference play undefeated since Tufts did so in 2020. This is the sixth season (most recently 2019) that Bowdoin has gone into the postseason without dropping a conference game and the third season (2004, 2019) without dropping any games.

The Polar Bears clinched the top seed in the NESCAC tournament and will take on eighth-seeded Williams College in Morrell Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon. The Ephs suffered their largest defeat of the season against Bowdoin on Feb. 8, losing 80-56.
