BRUNSWICK, Maine -- The Bowdoin College Polar Bears scored three times over the final 9:05 of the second period to erase a 1-0 deficit on their way to a 4-2 non-league win over the University of New England in men's ice hockey action Tuesday evening (Jan. 20) at Watson Arena.

Daniel McMullan tied the game at 10:55 going top-shelf from the slot, then Camil Blanchet notched his first collegiate goal to give the Polar Bears the lead for good.
