Manchester, N.H. (February 19, 2003)- Saint Anselm College controlled the game nearly from start to finish in a 99-54 drubbing of Green Mountain College in a non-conference game Wednesday night in Stoutenburgh Gymnasium.

The pace of the game was pedestrian early on as neither team could establish an advantage. With 14:29 remaining in the half, Lady Eagles senior Christina Raiche (Ira, Vt.) scored two of her team-high 23 to put GMC up, 11-9. That was the last time the visitors would lead. A 19-8 run put Saint Anselm ahead, 28-19, with 7:55 until the intermission and the Hawks would soar into the locker room with a 45-30 halftime advantage.

The Hawks kept pouring it on in the second half with a complete team effort. Freshman Katherine Levane (Port Washington, N.Y./ Our Lady of Mercy) dished out five of her team and career-high seven assists in the latter stanza as the Saint Anselm lead ballooned to 46-points, 97-51 with 1:33 left to play. From that point the Hawks shifted into cruise control and ended the affair with a 45-point lead, 99-54.

Saint Anselm was paced by freshman Raenielle Decastro-Cain (Manchester, Conn./ Manchester) who netted 17 points on 8-9 shooting, leading the pack of five Hawks to reach double figures in scoring while also five steals in just 17 minutes of action. Also standing out for the home team was senior Nicole Campbell (N. Kingstown, R.I./ N. Kingstown) who added a career-high 15. All 11 Hawks registered points and pulled down at least one rebound in the contest.

In addition to the 23-point display from Raiche, senior Erica Knolhoff (Windham, N.Y.) tallied 18 points for Green Mountain.

Saint Anselm is back in action on Saturday when the Hawks host Saint Michael's in a 1:30 PM Northeast-10 Conference game.
