Men's Basketball Keeps Rolling
In their lone matchup returning from break, the Men's Basketball team rode a strong second half to out-pace Southern Maine 87-80.
Lucas Green and Will King combined for 42 points, nearly half of Colby's total, with Green narrowly missing a double-double (22 points, nine rebounds). King added five assists and currently ranks second in the conference with 5.7 assists per game. Noah Tyson (photo right) collected his 10th double-digit scoring effort of the season with 11 points.
With an 11-1 record, the Mules are off to their hottest start since 2020, when they collected appearances in both the NESCAC Championship and NCAA Tournament. Colby begins conference play this weekend hosting Trinity and Wesleyan.
Women's Basketball Splits in Sunshine Shootout
The Mules got back to work shortly after the holiday, heading to Daytona Beach, Fla. to battle in the Sunshine Shootout. Behind a strong defense and consistent shooting, Colby outpaced Mount Aloysius 60-30 in the opener. Lydia Mordarski (13 points, eight rebounds) and Carter McGloon (eight points, nine rebounds) narrowly missed collecting double-doubles.
In their second contest, Colby faced off against a tough Emmanuel team. Three first-year's tallied double-digit scores for the Mules (Mordarski, Gabrielle Hemenes, Chelsea Ibenegbu), but the Saints held their early lead throughout the contest en route to a 72-46 victory.
Colby now posts a 4-6 record, ready to open NESCAC play this coming weekend when they travel to face Trinity and Wesleyan.
Men's Ice Hockey Plays Tough in Regional Action
Colby returned from break and skated right into regional competition, traveling to the Empire State to face off against Hobart and Elmira in the High Roller Classic. The Mules played the nation's top-ranked team (Hobart) neck and neck, pulling within one goal halfway through the third frame (Henry Molson from Clay Korpi and Nick Stapleton), but the Statesmen were able to hold on for the 2-1 victory, securing their undefeated record and position atop the USCHO standings. Andy Beran had 29 saves in the contest.
On the second day of the Classic, Elmira jumped out to a two-goal lead before Colby was able to close the gap behind Abdoul Diouf's first goal of the season, assisted by John McElaney. The Soaring Eagles added a late empty-netter to secure the 3-1 win. CJ Hapward turned away 27 shots in his second start of the season between the pipes.
Colby moves to 6-3-0 on the season. Their 4-1-0 record in conference play is good for 2nd place.
