Box Score Colorado College began its Thanksgiving Classic with an 85-62 loss to Carleton College on Friday afternoon in Reid Arena.
 
The Tigers were unable to overcome the Knights' exceptional shooting from long range. Carleton shot 13-of-33 from beyond the arc for a 39.4 three-point field-goal percentage.
 
CC held a 4-3 lead after junior Courtney Tyus stole the ball and drove down the court for a layup with 17:54 remaining in the opening half, but that proved to be the Tigers' only lead as Carleton went on an 11-0 run to build a 14-4 cushion at the 16:03 mark.
 
Colorado College pulled to with five points late in the half when sophomore Danielle Davis made a pair of free throws with 3:20 left.
 
The Knights, however, finished with a 12-5 run to head into intermission up 48-36.
 
Tyus paced the Tigers with a team-best 14 points and five steals, while Davis added 13 points. Freshman Esra Siddeek also scored in double figures with 10 points.
 
Carleton posted its first victory of the season while CC dropped to 0-6.
 
The Knights had five players score in double figures with Michele Arima pouring in a game-high 21 points to lead all players. Gabbi Stienstra (16), Emma Purfeerst (13), Jenny Ramey (11) and Claire Thallon (11) also hit double digits for Carleton.
