NEW LONDON, NH - The Amherst College women's basketball team fell victim to an 11-0 run at the start of the second half en route to a 55-46 loss to the host Chargers in the championship game of the Colby-Sawyer Tip-Off Tournament on Saturday. Colby-Sawyer improved to 2-0 on the year, while Amherst dropped to 1-1. 

Tournament MVP K.J. Krasco (Medford, Mass.) led the way for Colby-Sawyer, scoring 14 points and grabbing eight rebounds.
