April 18, 2025 NESCAC lets football teams into 2026 playoffs The NESCAC has taken the handcuffs off of its teams' postseason hopes, but not until 2026. The conference had not previously allowed its teams to accept playoff bids in football.
November 2, 2024 Lynskey breaks NESCAC record for rushing yards in one game in Bates football's 35-24 loss to Bowdoin Sophomore running back Ryan Lynskey broke the NESCAC record for rushing yards in one game, but the Bates football team could never wrestle the lead away from Bowdoin in a 35-24 loss Saturday night at Garcelon Field.
October 26, 2024 Bates football makes more history, defeats Middlebury 21-20 in a Garcelon Field thriller Senior captain Colton Bosselait threw three touchdown passes -- two to junior Sergio Beltran -- and the Bates football team knocked off Middlebury 21-20 Saturday afternoon in NESCAC action, the first win for the Bobcats over the Panthers since 1988. It's the second win over the top team in the NESCAC standings this year for Bates, coming just under a month after the Bobcats handed Wesleyan their only loss of the season to date.
October 19, 2024 Bates football falls just short in 24-21 loss at Williams The Bates football team turned in a strong performance but ultimately fell three points short in a 24-21 loss at Williams Saturday afternoon in NESCAC action.
October 12, 2024 Bates football can't slow down Tufts in 45-22 loss The visiting Tufts University Jumbos used a big second quarter to take command of the game on their way to a 45-22 victory over the Bates football team Saturday night at Garcelon Field.
October 5, 2024 Bates football loses 28-26 heartbreaker to Colby The Bates football team took the lead in the second half only to see the host Colby College Mules score twice in the fourth quarter to defeat the Bobcats 28-26 Saturday night in NESCAC action. The Mules (1-3 NESCAC) were able to stop a late Bates (1-3 NESCAC) two-point conversion attempt that likely would have forced overtime.
