Bowdoin Edges Men’s Lacrosse In Overtime, 8-7

BRUNSWICK, Maine – Bowdoin freshman attack Will Murtagh (Marblehead, Mass.) scored with 1:12 to play in overtime to lift the Polar Bears past Endicott, 8-7, on Wednesday night at Whittier Field.

Trailing 7-6 with under two minutes to play in the contest, the Gulls forced overtime behind Jack Sutherland's (Sudbury, Mass.) game-tying goal at the 1:27 mark of the fourth off an assist from John Koebel (Port Jefferson Station, N.Y.).

Meanwhile, in overtime, both teams had one scoring chance each before Murtagh buried the game-winner.

Sutherland paced Endicott's offense with a hat-trick, while A.J. MacDonald (New Fairfield, Conn.), Neal Parry (Marshfield, Mass.), Derek Yannone (Lynnfield, Mass.), and Sam Abate (Beverly, Mass.) all found the back of the net once in the loss.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

• Bowdoin snapped a two-game losing skid with tonight's win.
• Yannone went 9-for-18 at the faceoff X and scooped up eight ground balls. He has now lost a faceoff matchup so far this season (8-0).
• Cam Goodrich (Raynham, Mass.) notched a season-high three caused turnovers to aid the Gulls in tying their season-high for caused turnovers (11).
• James Loughran (Cos Cobb, Conn.), Hayden Souza (West Hartford, Conn.) and Andrew Soucy (Andover, Mass.) also aided the defense with two caused turnovers apiece.
