BOSTON, MA (November 22, 2023) – This holiday weekend the UMASS Boston Beacons will defend their home ice of the Edward T. Barry Ice Rink in the 16^th annual Codfish Bowl tournament featuring Suffolk University, Amherst College, and Bowdoin College.

Through 16 years of the Codfish Bowl, the Beacons have only raised the cup once in 2013-14 yet have been to the championship nine times since the origin of the tournament. With the Beacons ahead in total games played this season over its opponents, they hope to raise the cup again this year having already played in eight games compared to Amherst and Bowdoin's two.

Women's ice hockey head coach Mo Bradley commented on her first Codfish Bowl as head coach, stating "As a coach, I now realize what an awesome thing it is to host a collegiate tournament that happens throughout the year on other campuses makes me feel incredibly luck to inherit one that is both one of the longest running and still drawing national competition. While it is a great experience to be a part of, there is no feeling like winning this tournament on our home turf and we look to be the second team this decade to do that.".

The 16^th annual Codfish Bowl will take place at the Edward T. Barry Ice Rink as it plays host to the 1-1 Bowdoin College Polar Bears as they faceoff against the 2-6 Suffolk University Rams at noon on Saturday, followed by your UMASS Boston Beacons, as they defend home ice against the 2-0 Amherst College Mammoths. The losing teams will play again in a consolation matchup at noon on Sunday from the Edward T.
Barry Rink, followed by the championship game featuring the winners from Saturday's games.

Coach Bradley further added, saying "Participating in Codfish both as a player, and a coach is one level of full circle, but winning as both a player and coach will be when I'm fulfilled.".
