Castine, Maine - The Colby College Women's Basketball team pushes their win streak to five after taking down Maine Maritime Academy 71-57. The team improves to 6-1 on the season while the Mariners drop to an even 3-3 record. 

The Mules took control in the Tuesday night contest leading the whole way besides a one point Maine Maritime lead early in the first quarter that lasted only 17 seconds. Late in the opening quarter, Ana Von Rumohr hit a triple putting Colby up by double digits (12) as the Mules held on to a double digit lead the rest of the game eventually resulting in the 14 point victory.
