Bates College

Hicks scored a team and season-high 12 points in Tuesday’s 67-60 win over USM and followed that up by pacing the Bobcats (along with fellow rookie Sarah Hughes) with nine points and two steals in Sunday’s 58-37 win over WPI, matching her season-high with three made three-pointers in five attempts.

Bates is 5-0 for the first time since the 2004-05 season. Sunday’s win over WPI was the first time the Bobcats have won a game where no Bates player finished in double figures scoring since at least the 1995-96 season.
