Bowdoin vs. Northeastern |
September 18, 2010 @ NU in Boston |
Laurie, George, Barbara and I headed up route 28 to watch Ally and her teammates battle the Northeastern University Lady Maddogs. |
 |
After the "A" team defeated the Northeastern girls, it was Ally's team's chance to prove themselves. They lined up read to go. |
|
Northeastern took an early lead and put the pressure on Bowdoin. |
|
Northeastern continued to keep the ball in play too close to the goal line during the first half. |
|
Ally throws the ball into play. |
|
The Lady Maddogs continued to press hard. |
|
In the second half, the Bowdoin girls showed renewed determination, and plays started going their way. |
|
Charging downhill, the Polar Bears' message is clear: Out of my way! |
|
After the first try, Bowdoin adds 2 points with a field goal. |
|
Despite the grueling pace, the girls stay focused. |
|
Keeping the pressure on NU in their end. |
|
Ally handed off a lateral to her teammate wearing #20, who streaked down the far edge of the field to score the winning try. |
|
A second field goal attempt goes wide, but the score is now Bowdoin 12, NU 10 |
|
And the girls hold NU scoreless for the last 6 minutes, to win 12 to 10. |
|
Congratulating each other on a well-fought contest. |
