The Hamilton College women's hockey team earned a split of its weekend series at Bowdoin, rallying for a 4-1 NESCAC win Saturday.

The Polar Bears (8-9-2, 5-6-1 NESCAC) jumped out to a 1-0 lead before the Continentals (11-7-2, 5-5-2) came back with four unanswered goals.

Olivia Hawes '19 scored the tying and winning goals, giving her three multi-goal games in 2016.

Both of Hawes' goals came on rebounds; she tied the score with 1:29 left in the opening period following her shot at the left post after splitting a pair of Polar Bear defenders, then poking in the uncovered puck.

Just over five minutes into the second, Bowdoin goaltender Lan Crofton stopped a shot by Hamilton's Hannah Bartlett '16, but Hawes again skated in to clean up the rebound and roof the puck to go ahead 2-1.

Bartlett set up Hamilton's next goal, carrying from center ice deep into Bowdoin territory and drawing the lone defender. She slid a pass to the left onto the stick of Andrea Rockey '19 and Rockey skated uncontested down the slot and wristed a top-shelf shot over Crofton's blocker for the 3-1 advantage and her first collegiate goal. 

Steph DiPietro '18 added an empty-netter in the final three seconds to seal the game.

Sam Walther '18 made 21 saves to earn the win and lower her goals-against average to 1.49. The only goal she gave up was at 8:02 of the first period when a shot by Jessica Bowen bounced off her pad into the net.

The Continentals play a NESCAC series at Amherst next weekend; the hosts are ranked fifth nationally by both D3hockey.com and USCHO.com.
