Just as they did against Endicott a week ago, the Seahawks jumped out to a 6-0 lead. A three-pointer by Condon would the game at 8-8 (15:28 in the first half) before Tyler Putnam [So./Hodgdon ME] put the visitors up for good with a layup 40 seconds later. It was the first win for Colby-Sawyer in their last three trips to Newport.
Following a layup by Seahawk guard Jon Hazzard [Fr./North Kingstown RI], bringing Salve Regina within two (17-15), the Chargers finished the first half with a 23-13 run. In the second half, Salve Regina could only get as close as seven points (48-41) after a jumper by Matt Coute [So./Somerset MA].
Colby-Sawyer (14-5; 10-1 CCC) had 11 blocked shots, led by Condon’s four. Putnam finished with 15 points while Collin Bray [So./Brookline MA] and Andrew St. Clair [So./Pittsfield MA] each had a baker’s dozen. The Chargers host University of New England on Tuesday.
Salve Regina (5-15; 5-7 CCC) made only one three-pointer (out of 15 attempts) in the game, that by Coute who finished with a game-high 18 points. The Seahawks host Curry College on Tuesday.
