The Chargers improve to 3-0, while Sage falls to 1-2.

DeSanty needed just 24 minutes to pour in a career-high 28 points. She was 9-18 from the floor and 6-8 from beyond the arc. For her efforts, DeSanty was named tournament MVP. Sophomore Ashley Fruzzetti (Raynham, Mass.) was the only other Chargers to reach double figures with 10.

Freshman Simone Songue (Yaoundel, Cameroon) and freshman Emma Lamson (Williamstown, Vt.) added four points and six rebounds each off the bench.
