The Colorado College attack continued to click on all cylinders as the women's lacrosse team began a two-game road trip to the Twin Cities with a 22-5 victory at Hamline University on Thursday afternoon.
Bella Scola set career highs of six goals and seven points, while
Courtney Zell matched her best of four goals to help the Tigers surpass the 20-goal mark for the third consecutive game and the fourth time this season.
The last time Colorado College accomplished that feat was in 2017 when the Tigers did it twice while posting a 15-5 record.
After Nicole Phillips put the Pipers on the board 1:16 into the game, Scola struck three times and set up another score as CC ran off eight consecutive goals and finished the quarter with an 8-2 lead.
A second goal by Phillips pulled Hamline to within 10-3 with 8:18 remaining in the second quarter, but the Tigers scored five more goals to build a 12-goal lead after 20 minutes. CC's 15 goals are their most in the first half this season.
Tobin Lonergan scored three goals and dished out a pair of assists for Colorado College. It marked the fifth time this season the first-year attacker recorded three or more goals in a game and the sixth time she produced at least five points.

The Tigers launched 42 total shots compared 11 for the Pipers.
