BOSTON, Mass. (September 23, 2026) – Bowdoin College scored a pair of goals in each half to pull away from Emerson College for a 4-1 victory in a non-conference women's soccer action at Rotch Field tonight.
Senior Mary Rainey and junior Kayley Huleatt each registered a goal and assist to lead Bowdoin to the win, while junior Jackie Shores chipped in with a goal.
Senior Ilana Posner finished with three saves in the Bowdoin goal. Sophomore Addie Costello made a career-high nine saves in goal for Emerson, while sophomore Abby Cockerill netted the Lions goal.
Huleatt opened the scoring 12:16 into the match when she directed in a cross from the right side by Rainey for her second goal of the season.
Emerson answered just six minutes later as senior Kaylin O'Meara served a pass to Cockerill inside the 18 for her second goal of the season in the 19th minute. Bowdoin reclaimed the lead just shy of the half hour mark on an Emerson own goal.

Emerson enjoyed the best scoring chances of the opening minutes of the second half and looked poised to equalize. Bowdoin was able to secure an insurance marker against the run of play after ten minutes when Huleatt connected with Shores for her fourth goal of the season in the 56th minute. The Polar Bears capped the scoring with Rainey's second of the season off a pass from sophomore Kendall Hacker at the 71-minute mark.
Emerson (2-3-2, 0-1-0 NEWMAC) is scheduled to return to action on Saturday when it hosts Salve Regina University for a NEWMAC clash here at Rotch Field at 1 p.m. Bowdoin (4-3-0, 1-3-0 NESCAC) hosts Middlebury University on Saturday at noon.
