Hamilton, N.Y. - After shooting her way through the Colgate's freshman scoring record with 459 points and a single-season three-point field goal record, Allison Lipinski (Garfield Heights, Ohio/Garfield Heights) took aim at two more... and connected in the Raiders triumphant 94-75 win over Lafayette in their regular season closer, Saturday, February 23.   

With her career-high 28 points against Lafayette, Lipinski set a new Patriot League single-season record for three-point field goals made in a season with 96 on the heels of her Colgate and Cotterell Court single-game record of eight three's on 8-for-13 shooting from long range.  With her regular-season ending performance, Lipinski now has 459 points, 96 three-point field goals, 32 assists, 30 steals and five individual records.  

Lipinski, who has scored in double-figures 24 times this season, is the Raiders leading scorer and is fourth in the Patriot League averaging 15.8 points per game as a freshman.
