Colby-Sawyer Advances to Cave Classic Championship Game

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Senior forward Emmani Robinson (Newburgh, N.Y.) scored ten points on 5 of 6 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Colby-Sawyer to a 49-34 win over Norwich University in the semifinals of the 2017 Cave Classic Tip-Off Tournament hosted by Bridgewater State University at the Tinsley Center.

The Chargers led from start to finish and held a double-digit advantage throughout the second half.

Sophomore forward Tianna Sugars (Oxford, Maine) added nine points and 13 boards for the Chargers, while sophomore guard Lexie Hamilton (Sunapee, N.H.) chipped in with nine points, eight rebounds and six assists.

Colby-Sawyer shot 32% (18-57) from the floor, 17% (3-18) from behind the arc and 63% (10-16) at the line.

Junior forward Vanessa Fleury (Lebanon, N.H.) paced Norwich with eight points and six rebounds.

The Cadets struggled with their shooting throughout the evening as they connected on just 11 of 63 (17.5%) field goal attempts, including 1-for-14 (7%) from three-point range. Norwich knocked down as many free throws as field goals as the Cadet went 11-for-14 at the charity stripe.
