LEWISTON, ME - Senior midfielder Gretchen Bowe (Hampstead, NH) scored her third goal of the season to lead the 10th ranked Amherst College field hockey team to a 1-0 win at NESCAC rival Bates on Saturday at Bertram Field. Amherst improved to 3-0 (2-0 NESCAC) with the win.
After a scoreless first half, Bowe pounced on a rebound off a Jeffs' penalty corner with 9:22 on the clock as Amherst narrowly escaped with the 1-0 victory. Bates (2-0/0-1 NESCAC) threatened down the stretch but failed to find the back of the net.

The Jeffs return to action Tuesday nigh at 7:00 at non-league foe Springfield.
