ST. PAUL, Minn. – Liesl McCallum finished with a game-high 20 points and point guard Addy Huss contributed 12 points and 13 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the campaign, but the Carleton College women's basketball team lost 63-56 at Hamline University.
 
Hamline (11-3, 5-2 MIAC) won its seventh straight game—the longest active win streak in the MIAC—and remains a game behind the conference co-leaders.
 
Carleton (5-9, 2-5 MIAC) shot 46.3 percent overall and limited the Pipers to only 33.8 percent shooting overall land 25.0 percent from 3-point range, Hamline's second-lowest performances this season in both areas. However, the hosts corralled 15 offensive rebounds, allowing Hamline to finish the contest with a 20-2 edge in second-chance points.
 
Carleton trailed 20-10 early in the second quarter but answered with a 12-2 spurt that tied the game at 22-22 with 3:45 still to play before intermission. Hamline closed the stanza with an 8-0 run and carried a 32-24 advantage into the break.
 
It was still a seven-point game midway through the third quarter, but the Pipers outscored the Knights 13-4 over the remainder of the period to build their largest lead of the evening at 53-37.
 
Carleton outscored Hamline 19-10 during the fourth quarter, but the deficit was too large to overcome.
 
In addition to big games for McCallum and Huss, both Audrey Whitney and Taylor Dente contributed eight points for the Knights.
 
Nine players scored for the Pipers, including a team-best 18 points for Camille Cummings, who tallied her 1,000th career point with a first-quarter layup. Emma Lamppa went 4-of-10 from long range for her 12 points.
