Women’s Basketball Victorious in Both Holiday Classic Matchups

A nearly-40-point spread would be enough to have some teams begging for, well, mercy.

The women’s basketball team won both of their Saint Anselm Holiday Classic match-ups, including a 81-42 victory over Mercy College on Tuesday.

The 39-point spread was the largest margin of victory for the lady Hawks since 2003, according to a Twitter post by the athletics department.

Wednesday’s 52-47 victory over Dominican College brings the team to a 4 and 6 record, having won four of seven home games and dropped all three away games.

The Hawks are off until this weekend; both men’s (3:30 pm) and women’s (1:30 pm) basketball are at home against Merrimack College on Saturday, and men’s ice hockey plays Johnson & Wales at 3:00 on Sunday.
