CASTINE, Maine – Will Hanley scored 20 points and hauled in seven rebounds to lead Bowdoin to a 72-44 win at Maine Maritime Academy Monday evening. The Polar Bears (5-2) opened the game on a 20-2 run and never looked back en route to their 12th consecutive victory over the Mariners (1-5).
Hanley picked up four of his points during Bowoin's impressive opening salvo. The Polar Bears hit on 12 of their first 14 shots of the night and finished the first half 19-of-25 from the floor. That included a 6-of-11 effort from behind the arc, giving the Polar Bears a 46-21 lead at the break.
Digging deep into its bench, Bowdoin cooled off in the second half, but still finished the game 29-of-54 (.537). The Polar Bears put 13 players on the floor, with 11 registering at least a pair of points and a dozen securing at least one rebound. Wyatt Littles posted 12 points on a 5-of-7 effort that included a pair of treys. Keegan Pieri recorded nine rebounds, matching the Mariners' Shawn Dostie (Bowdoinham, Maine) for the game high.
Dostie posted 12 points and was a board short of putting up his fourth double-double of the year. Freshman Brandon Theriault (East Millinocket, Maine) led the Mariners with 13 points, while Tyler Pineo (Corinth, Maine) scored nine.
Maine Maritime returns to action Friday night as the Mariners get back into the North Atlantic Conference Schedule at Green Mountain College. Tipoff is slated for 5:30 p.m. in Poultney.
