By the Numbers
  • Wesleyan outshot Bowdoin 16-7.
  • Wesleyan held a 14-2 edge in penalty corners.
  • Filipponi made 8 saves.
Yes, But

Wesleyan had the stronger attacking numbers and several quality chances, including a shot cleared off the line, but couldn’t get past Filipponi. Bowdoin made its early opportunities count and protected the lead.

What's Next

Wesleyan, ranked No. 9 in the NCAA Power Index before the game, must wait for results elsewhere to learn whether it earns an at-large bid to the 2026 NCAA Tournament.

Bottom Line

Wesleyan’s season may not be over, but its NCAA hopes now depend on the selection picture—not its performance against Bowdoin.
