NEW LONDON, Conn.—The Connecticut College women's basketball team improved its record to 10-1 with a 64-42 victory against Mitchell College at Luce Field House Tuesday night.

The Camels were paced by sophomore All-Region performer Mairead Hynes (Mahopac, N.Y.) who poured in a game-high 20 points in a perfect shooting performance (8-for-8 from the field).  Kylie Caouette (Ashburnham, Mass.) chipped in with 19 points, three rebounds and six steals from the backcourt, knocking down 3-of-6 shots from long distance and 7-of-12 shots from the floor.

Liz Malman (Mendham, N.J.) reached double figures with 11 points, four rebounds and three assists for the winning side. Senior captain Willa McKinley (Westport, N.Y.) added six points and five assists for Connecticut College.

Senior Diamond Thomas (Hartford, Conn.) finished with a team-best 11 points and six assists to lead the Mariners (1-6) in the loss. Chelsea Newman (Manchester, Conn.) chipped in with 10 points and eight rebounds for Mitchell.

Hynes and Caouette combined for 22 points in the opening half for the Camels who built a 19-12 lead after one quarter and out-scored the Mariners 18-to-8 in the second quarter. The hosts ended the half with a 13-2 run. Caouette capped the rally by canning a triple with 1:27 to go that vaulted the Camels out to a 37-20 advantage at the break.

The Mariners were able to hang around for a while but Hynes was a match up problem all night and with 5:13 to play, the sophomore forward provided the hosts with a 60-35 lead when she stole a ball in transition and powered her way into the paint for an easy deuce.

 The hosts were easily able to hold on for the 64-42 win.

Hynes (14.7 ppg.) is leading a balanced offense that features five players averaging in double figures.

The Camels are 6-0 on their home court.
