Olivia Hawes ’19, Women’s Ice Hockey
On Feb. 5, the Continentals had lost three of their past four games and fallen behind 1-0 in the second leg of a back-to-back weekend at Bowdoin. However, the first-year forward Hawes gave Hamilton a much-needed boost, scoring both the game-tying and game-winning goals in the Continentals’ 4-1 win. Hawes put away a rebound to tie the game late in the first period, then cleaned up a shot from Hannah Bartlett ’16 to put Hamilton ahead for good. Hawes now has three multi-goal games on the season.
Sarah Hooper ’16, Women’s Swimming and Diving
On Senior Day, Hooper shined in her signature events, winning both the 50- and 100-meter freestyle races. Her winning time was 24.86 seconds in the 50 free and 54.01 seconds in the 100 free; additionally, she was also part of the winning 400 free relay team which included Lauren Klei ’18, Hannah Mooney ’17 and Emma Raynor ’18.
Rafiatou Ouro-Aguy ’18, Women’s Squash
Playing from the third position, Ouro-Aguy earned two wins at the NESCAC Championships held at Trinity College. She beat Aaliyah Davidson of Connecticut College (12-10, 11-8, 11-1) in the first round, then defeated Katie Bull of Bates (9-11, 11-5, 11-6, 4-11, 11-7) in the first consolation round. Ouro-Aguy was the only Continentals player from the top six positions to win multiple matches during the tournament.
