Box Score Junior attackman Austin Davie struck for a career-high six goals, including the go-ahead score 1:04 into the fourth quarter, to power Colorado College to a 16-13 victory over Babson College on Saturday morning.

Davie's fifth tally snapped an 11-11 tie and sparked a 5-1 run that sealed the victory for CC, which improved to 6-3.

"We've had our fair share of adversity the last few weeks," head coach Sean Woods said. "This team has suffered more injuries than any other team I've been a part of. We've have taken a "next guy up" approach and after a few losses, we've really galvanized and gelled as a team.

"We managed to grind out a hard fought, tough win against a tough Babson team. Our guys played tough today.  That needs to continue."

Freshman midfielder Tyler Borko, who finished with four goals and three assists for a season-high seven points, gave the Tigers a two-goal lead with a little more than 10 minutes remaining.
