NEW LONDON, Conn. - The Connecticut College men's soccer team fell to Bowdoin 1-0 on Saturday afternoon at Freeman Field.

After over 75 minutes of scoreless soccer, Bowdoin's Everett Horch scored the game's only goal to take down the reigning national champions.

In a relatively uneventful first half, the two NESCAC rivals jockeyed for field position, and the majority of the action took place in the midfield.

Bowdoin nearly got on the scoreboard in the 15^th minute when forward Charlie Ward made a move to get by a Conn defender and fired a shot with his left foot from about 14 yards away. The attempt, which was struck to the bottom left corner of the net, was smothered in an outstanding diving effort by Camels' goalkeeper, Sam Maidenberg (South Orange, N.J.). The save kept the Polar Bears off the scoreboard, and the game remained tied for the rest of the half.

For much of the second half, the two teams were locked in a stalemate, with both defenses halting the opposing offense at every turn.

But in the 76^th minute, a long pass from a Bowdoin defender crossed midfield and got behind the Camels' defense. Mateo Pacelli streaked down the right side of the field, and with a two-on-one advantage, he dished it to Horch who had a wide open look at Maidenberg. The Camels' keeper came out of the box in a last ditch effort, but Horch's shot rolled into the back of the net to give the visitors the 1-0 advantage.

Conn really picked up the offensive attack on the ensuing possessions. The Camels had several opportunities to tie the game, but the Bowdoin defense buckled down and held them off the scoreboard to hang on for the win.

Bowdoin now moves to 4-0 on the season, and holds a 7-1-2 record against the Camels in their last 10 matchups.

Maidenberg and Bowdoin goalkeeper Michael Webber, each tallied three saves.

Connecticut College (2-1-1, 0-1-1 NESCAC) will attempt to get back on track when it hosts Trinity at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
