COLCHESTER, Vt. – The University of New Haven women's basketball team placed five players in double-figure scoring as the Chargers won their third straight contest, a 69-57 win in a Northeast-10 Conference matchup at Saint Michael's on Tuesday night.
 
With the win, New Haven improves to 10-9 with a 6-7 record in the NE-10. The Purple Knights fall to 7-11 and are 3-10 in conference.
