Bowdoin earns big winThe Polar Bears earn their first regular-season conference win over Tufts in seven seasons.
...When Bowdoin subbed in 6-2 center Cordelia Stewart, Baptista fouled her twice (early in the second quarter, and then four minutes into the second half).
“We wanted to go right at (Baptista) and (Tufts) didn’t have anyone to contend with Cordelia’s length,” Bowdoin Coach Adrienne Shibles said. “Cordelia really had some nice moments for us that made a huge difference in the outcome.”
Stewart, a junior from Bangor, finished with eight points and six rebounds in 16 minutes.
Shibles used 11 players, keeping her team fresh in the physical game. Sophomore Maddie Hasson of South Portland had five rebounds, with three points.
“They’re a really tough team,” Hasson said. “We came in with a mindset that we had to be strong.”
