Haley Dwight (West Newbury, Mass.) scored her fifth goal of the season on a diving effort, redirecting a shot into the back of the cage against No. 2-ranked Middlebury.

Christina Sweeney (Milton, Mass.) scored at the 7:41 mark of the first quarter, converting a penalty corner to net her team-leading sixth goal of the 2026 season. Sweeney spearheaded the Colby offense with two shots - both on target - and consistently pressured Hamilton’s defense inside the circle.
