WATERVILLE, Maine - Erik Olson (Edina, Minn.) had four assists and teammates Brendan Reich (Montvale, N.J.) and Daniel Weiniger (Warren, N.J.) both scored twice as Bowdoin College fired 67 shots on goal in a 7-1 win over Salve Regina University on Saturday at Colby College's Alfond Rink.

The Polar Bears opened up a 4-0 lead after the first period, but Salve Regina did have 11 of its 10 shots in the first 20 minutes. Junior defensemen Reich tallied at 5:16 of the first period off assists from Robert Toczylowski (Reading, Mass.) and Olson.

Bowdoin went to work just 1:51 later when junior defensemen Kyle Shearer-Hardy (Montreal, Quebec) tallied from Ryan Blossom (Concord, N.H.).

The first goal participants joined forces again on Bowdoin's third score, a power play goal at 12:33. Reich got his second goal of the game from Olson and Toczylowski. The Polar Bears went up 4-0 at intermission when Weiniger scored an unassisted shorthanded goal at 17:41.

In between those goals, Save Regina's Patrick Bambery (Braintree, Mass.) broke the shutout at 11:23 of the third period for the Seahawks.
