PAXTON, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University received goals from three different players on Tuesday evening as the visiting Bears defeated Anna Maria College, 3-0, in a non-conference field hockey game at AMCAT Field.

The Bears stopped a five-game losing skid, improving to 3-5 on the season, while the host AMCATS drop to 3-9.
