Jordan Sammons had 23 points and a career high 17 rebounds as Hamline's women's basketball team grabbed a halftime lead and refused to let go en route to a 71-63 victory Saturday at Hutton Arena.

The soph guard was one of four players who finished in double digit scoring as HU improved to 6-6 in the MIAC, 6-9 overall.
