Conference scores 1/24/15

In non-conference action, Hamilton blanked D-II bottom feeders Franklin Pierce 4-0. FP is named after the U.S. President on the same name, who also happens to be a Bowdoin alum and widely considered one of the worst presidents in our nation's history. Speaking of Bowdoin, they routed USM 6-1 on Wednesday, January 27th with an almost all underclassmen lineup to finish out non-conference play at 6-0-0. Now they just need to focus on their 0-4-2 record outside of Maine.
