Tuesday night Bowdoin faced 5th ranked Salem State and tried to keep
their playoff hopes alive.  The result:
 
   Bowdoin   2  1  0 - 3
  @Salem St. 1  3  3 - 7
 
Third hand details of the game:
 
Bowdoin was on fire in the first, shocking Salem State at home by
taking a 2-0 lead midway through the period.  Salem scored with about
1:30 left to cut the lead to 2-1.
 
Salem scored first in the second, tying the game at 2.  Bowdoin
regained the lead before giving up two more goals to end the period
behind 4-3.
 
In the third period, Salem State woke up (for 2.5 minutes, at least).
Between 9:15 and 11:45 of the final period, Salem scored three times
to ice the game 7-3.
 
Bowdoin had 24 shots on goal; Salem State recorded 36.  Bowdoin was 1
for 5 on the power play.  Bowdoin drops to 8-10-2 (7-10-2 in ECAC III).
 
If Bowdoin wins its last two conference games, we will be in 8th
place; however, the ECAC III E tournament usually only takes teams
with above .500 conference records.  The last time Bowdoin was
excluded from post-season play was the 1973-74 season.  The last time
we had an overall record below .500 was the 1982-83 season (although
our conference record was above .500 and we were seeded 6th in the
ECAC III E playoffs).
 
Bowdoin's remaining games:
  2/15  Conn. College (NLG)
  2/16  Amherst (NLG)
  2/20 @Colby
  2/23 @St. Anselm
