NASHUA, N.H. – The Colby-Sawyer men's basketball team picked up a huge win on Wednesday night against inner-state foe Rivier University by a 76-65 final. The Chargers were  led by junior Scott Lampron (Concord, N.H.) pouring in a career-high 38 points.

Rapid Recap: 

• The Chargers and Raiders traded baskets early with the visitors taking an early 7-4 lead following a first year Dylan Santosuosso (Pelham, N.H.) triple followed by a jumper by junior Omar Boone (Colorado City, Texas).
• The visitors jumped the lead to 25-18 thanks to six-straight points by Boone including a thunderous dunk off the baseline. The Raiders would use a last run to trim the lead to just three, but a closing finish in the paint by Lampron gave the Chargers a two possession advantage heading into the break.
• In the second half the scoring picked up, with neither team being able to take advantage. Rivier would use a 6-0 advantage at the midway point of the second half to jump ahead for the first time since early first half leading by a 47-46 margin.
