BRUNSWICK, Maine—Junior Jordyn Ferrantino (Millis, Mass.) scored a pair of goals but visiting Babson College suffered a 5-2 loss at Bowdoin College in non-conference women's soccer action on Sunday afternoon at Pickard Field. 

Babson, which saw its four-game unbeaten streak come to an end, drops to 4-3-2 on the year. Bowdoin improves to 5-2-2 overall with the victory. 

Seniors Natalie Knauf (Point Pleasant, N.J.) and Olivia Maltbie (Niskayuna, N.Y.) both recorded an assist for the Beavers. First-year Callahan Cottone (Medway, Mass.) made five of her six saves in the first half. 

Senior Greta Farkas (Chevy Chase, Md.) finished with a goal and an assist, while classmates Morgan Smiley (Charlotte, N.C.) and Nina Hashimoto (Marshfield, Wis.), junior Laila Nickelson (Bethesda, Md.) and sophomore Rylie McLaren (Carlsbad, Calif.),and each scored once for the Polar Bears. Sophomore Charlotte Iannone (East Williston, N.Y.) made four saves in the victory.

Bowdoin opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Farkas took sophomore Kyra Hacker's (Natick, Mass.) corner kick off a bounce in the center of the box and drilled it back inside the left post for a 1-0 lead. The Green and White equalized in the 25th minute though as Ferrantino flicked Maltbie's long service into the box past Iannone for her team-leading four marker. 

The Polar Bears took the lead back for good just over two minutes later as Hashimoto ran onto a long pass by sophomore Stephanie Christianson (Annandale, Va.) and pushed the ball past Cottone, who was forced off her line, before finding the open net for her second goal of the year. The hosts extended the margin to 3-1 in the 39th minute as Farkas played a ball over the Babson back line for McLaren, who picked out the upper left corner with Cottone charging off her line for her first tally of the season. 

Bowdoin made it 4-1 the 81st minute when first-year Mary Rainey (Lebanon, N.H.) escaped a pair of defenders along the sideline in her own half and worked a give-and-go in transition with Smiley, who walked in on Cottone and slotted her finish inside the left post. Nickelson notched her first marker after winning a foot-race to a long pass in the 85th minute for a four-goal advantage before Ferrantino completed her brace with a header in the 90th minute for the final margin. 

The Polar Bears finished with a 16-9 edge in shots and slim 6-4 advantage in corner kicks.

Babson returns to action on Wednesday when it travels to WPI at 7 p.m., while Bowdoin hosts Trinity next Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
