New London, Conn. – Host Connecticut College posted its second consecutive impressive win, rolling past Clark University, 82-58, on Thursday evening at Luce Field House as Liz Malman (Mendham, N.J.) poured in a game-high 21 points.

The Camels have now won their two games this season by a combined 57 points, while the Cougars have lost three straight since their season-opening win.

Malman was 9-for-16 from the field and a perfect 2-for-2 from the charity stripe. She added four rebounds, four steals and three assists in the victory.  Senior Carlee Smith (Willimantic, Conn.), Jenna Lovett (Tolland, Conn.) and Mairead Hynes (Mahopac, N.Y.) all finished with 13 points for the winning side.

Brooke Brennan (Weston, Mass.) netted 15 points to go with six rebounds, three steals and two assists in the contest for the Scarlet and White, while Olivia Lyons (Belmont, Mass.) finished with a career-best 12 points and five boards.

First year players Sam O'Gara (Worcester, Mass.) and Haley Wilder (Fitzwilliam, N.H.) both contributed with nine points for Clark. O'Gara added five rebounds and five assists to her statline in her 33 minutes of action.

The Camels led from the opening tap and a pair of free throws from Smith with eight minutes left vaulted the hosts out to a 23-12 advantage. But the Cougars responded with a 12-to-4 run, pulling to within 27-24 when Brennan buried a three-ball from the left side of the arc with 4:12 remaining.

Connecticut College responded for the hosts with a terrific hustle play, blocking a shot to Malman that started a fast break for the Camels. Malman rewarded King for her defensive effort with an assist for an easy lay in.

Malman pushed the lead back to 10 with a jumper from the top of the key with 2:26 remaining that made it a 34-24 contest.

The Camels carried a 35-27 lead into the break.

In the second stanza, the Camels put together a 24-10 run that put them in complete command of the contest. Lovett opened the run with a hoop and some harm with 17:56 remaining. Smith capped the rally when she took an assist from Kaitlyn Cresencia (New Providence, N.J.) and banked one in.

Clark had trouble taking care of the ball, turning it over 20 times and shot just 31 percent from the field.

The Cougars will look to return to the win column on Tuesday when they host Anna Maria at 4:00 p.m.
