CLINTON, N.Y. – Hamilton College scored the first six points and never trailed in the Continentals' 74-54 non-conference win against the SUNY Morrisville Mustangs inside Hamilton's Margaret Bundy Scott Field House on Tuesday, Nov. 14.
 

Season Update

  • SUNY Morrisville (2-2) is a member of the North Atlantic Conference.
 

How It Happened

  • Hamilton opened up leads of 6-0 and 13-2 in the opening minutes of the first quarter. Taylor Lambo '26 grabbed a missed shot, made the putback and was fouled before completing the old-fashioned 3-point play. Courtney Shay '24 rattled in a 3-pointer from the right wing and, after a made jumper by the Mustangs, Lambo banked in a shot from the low block. Kendall Harris '27 drained two free throws and Althea Hill '26 swished a shot from beyond the arc for an 11-point advantage with 6:26 left in the first.
  • The Continentals took their largest lead in the first quarter at 25-8 with 1:14 remaining when Piper Seamon '24 canned a 3-pointer in front of Morrisville's bench. Hamilton led 25-9 after the opening 10 minutes.
  • The Continentals led comfortably throughout the second quarter, including a 22-point margin at 42-20 on a trifecta by Tessa Cole '25 from the right wing with 3:20 to go. Hamilton enjoyed a 19-point cushion at the break, 44-25.
  • The third quarter was all Mustangs as they cut their deficit all the way down to six points on two occasions, including 50-44 at the end of the third. Morrisville was 6 of 10 from the field and a perfect 4-for-4 at the free-throw line during the quarter.
  • The Continentals made 5 of 9 shots from long range in the fourth quarter and quickly pulled away again from the Mustangs. Emily Hall '24 drove into the lane and kicked the ball out to Hill for a 3-pointer in front of a jubilant Hamilton bench for a 61-49 lead with 7:10 left. The Continentals poured it on from there, and a trey from the top of the key by Sophie Blomberg '26 with 23.4 seconds remaining matched Hamilton's largest lead at 74-52.
