NEW LONDON, N.H. – February 8, 2020 – Colby-Sawyer senior Lexie Hamilton (Sunapee, N.H.) recorded her second triple-double in seven days and third of her career to help the Chargers to an 81-51 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) victory over Lasell.    

Colby-Sawyer improves to 14-7 overall and 4-4 in the GNAC. The Chargers host Norwich on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Lasell falls to 9-12 overall and 2-7 in the conference. The Lasers travel to Rivier on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Hamilton finished with 17 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. The senior guard was 5-of-5 from the floor, 3-of-3 from beyond the arc and 4-of-4 from the free throw line. Hamilton passed Kelsey Cahill '15 on the all-time scoring list with 1,215 points to rank eighth. Senior Tianna Sugars (Oxford, Maine) posted her 13th double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds. She moved into fifth in scoring with 1,294 points. First-year Sydney Noyes (Newbury, Mass.) made 8-of-11 shots for 16 points.

Lasell was led by a 13-point effort from senior D'Asia Allen (Providence, R.I.). Senior Amanda Ortiz (Newton, Mass.) added 11 points and four blocks.

The home team shot 65% in the first quarter and hit 4-of-6 three-pointers to lead 33-10 after 10 minutes. The defense held Lasell to a pair of made three points and four free throws. Hamilton scored 13 of her 17 points in the frame.

For the second quarter in a row, the Chargers scored 14 points in the paint. Colby-Sawyer only added a point to its lead, however, due in part to Lasell converting on all eight free throw attempts in the frame. The Chargers led 50-26 at the break.

Each team made four buckets in the third and Colby-Sawyer outscored Lasell 16-13 to go on top 66-39 after three.

First-year Kyle Marquis (Penacook, N.H.) scored five points in the fourth to add to the Colby-Sawyer lead. Junior Meg Carroll (Douglas, Mass.) also had five for Lasell, but the Chargers were too much and went on for the 81-51 victory.  

Colby-Sawyer shot 43.1% for the game and held Lasell to 21.7%. The Chargers dominated the glass with a 56-36 discrepancy in rebounds.
