MATCH ONE – Dickinson 1, Bowdoin 8

It was always going to be an uphill battle for the Red Devils, going up against a higher ranked Bowdoin side, with some injuries and sickness leaving the men a few players down. The solo Red Devil win came from first-year Noah George, where he took down Aryan Singh in the third flight in five games, taking him 45 minutes. First-year Owen Buroker returned to his old stomping grounds, playing at his high school club for the first time as a college athlete, going down in the second flight in three tight games.
