At Dayton Arena in Brunswick, Maine, the Bowdoin Polar Bears scored five unanswered goals in the second period, turning a 2-1 deficit into a 6-2 lead, and coasted to a 7-3 victory over A.I.C. in ECAC East hockey action Saturday afternoon. Bowdoin improves to 10-5 overall, 9-4 in the league. The visiting Yellowjackets fell to 7-12-1, 6-10-1 in league play. After an initial three minutes of pressure by Bowdoin failed to yield any goals, the rest of the first period was evenly played. A.I.C. scored first on an Erik Forselius tally, followed 1:18 later by a Joe Gaffney power-play goal. After Sean Cornelow scored to give A.I.C. a 2-1 lead, Bowdoin went on an offensive tear in the second half of the second period. Steve Kashian scored a power-play goal at 10:41 and Chris Delaney notched the game-winning goal 23 seconds later with great individual stick handling from the blue line and a quick wrist shot from the right circle. Marcello Gentile, Chris Coutu, and Peter Kravchuk (scoring Bowdoin's third power-play goal) put the game out of reach. A.I.C. missed a big opportunity in the third period when Tom O'Brien was hauled down on a breakaway by Tim Bourgeois and awarded a penalty shot. But Bowdoin netminder Tom Sablak was up to the challenge, and O'Brien's shot was steered wide. GAME SUMMARY A.I.C.
