BOX SCORE

WENHAM, MA. - February 8, 2011 - Taylor DeSanty (North Adams, MA) scored 14 points to lead all players and the stingy Colby-Sawyer defense limited Gordon to just 25% shooting as the Chargers defeated Gordon 52-37 Tuesday night at the Bennett Center.

Colby-Sawyer moves to 12-9 overall and 8-2 in league play, while Gordon is 2-20 and 1-9 in The Commonwealth Coast Conference.

DeSanty's 3-pointer at 18:27 of the first half opened the scoring and the Chargers never trailed in the contest. Despite this, the first half was tightly contested, as Colby-Sawyer never led by more than nine. Gordon pulled to with 28-24 going into the locker room after Catey Marshall (St. Johnsbury, VT) scored just before the half.

The Chargers went on an 8-0 run coming out of the break, as four different players scored in the first 3:09 of the half. Gordon was held scoreless until the 15:02 mark when Sara Schwanke (Duxbury, MA) scored on a fast break. Colby-Sawyer maintained that double digit lead the rest of the way with their widest margin coming with the game's final score.

The Chargers held a significant 54-36 advantage on the backboards, led by Sammi Lehr (Cohasset, MA) who came off the bench to grab 12 boards in 21 minutes. Lehr added eleven points for the double-double. Colby-Sawyer also received a fine playmaking performance from point guard Cailin Bullett (Milbury, MA) who dished out six assists.

Gordon created 22 Chargers' turnovers. Schwanke came up with five steals of her own, along with six points and six rebounds. Lauren Kranyak (Locust Grove, VA) played all 40 minutes for the Scots and had 11 points and nine rebounds. Freshman forward Becca Berman (Thousand Oaks, CA) had a personal best ten points along with six rebounds and also played the entire game.

Gordon will continue their conference schedule on Saturday in their final home game as they play Western New England at 1P.M. Colby-Sawyer hosts the University of New England for senior day at 1P.M. on Saturday.
