HAMILTON  — Jaimee Spring and Alexia Aubin recorded their first-career multi-point performances while Kaia Malachino, Madeline Palumbo and Kristýna Kaltounková added a pair of points each in No. 8/9 Colgate's 6-1 victory over Post on Thursday night. 

"It was so fun out there tonight," Aubin said. "I think playing in our own rink helped me a lot, and playing with all the girls cheering me on just set me up perfectly."
