Army West Point Beats New Hampshire to Continue Winning Streak
The Army West Point Black Knights women’s basketball team ran their winning streak to seven games with a 60-59 win over New Hampshire on Saturday.
Army (7-1) hasn’t lost since its season-opener to Cornell on Nov. 4. The Black Knights also hadn’t played since Nov. 23 when it beat UMass. Their game earlier this week against Mercyhurst was canceled due to weather in the Erie, Pa., area.
The Black Knights won the game on two free throws by Camryn Tade with 17 seconds left. After the free throws, New Hampshire had one last shot to either tie or win the game, but lost possession of the ball with one second left as Trinity Hardy forced a steal with time expiring.
The clock had stopped with two seconds left after Hardy was called for a foul.
Army managed to avoid overtime for the first time in four games, as he they had won their last three games in OT. Tade forced overtime in Army’s last victory on a layup.
The Black Knights led, 21-15, after the first quarter and built up a 31-20 leading going into halftime. New Hampshire flipped the script in the third quarter, outscoring Army, 21-10 and completely erasing the leading going into the final 10 minutes.
New Hampshire shot better than Army for the game, firing 43.5%. But, the Black Knights drained nine 3-points on the contest, nearly half of their scoring total for the game. New Hampshire made 15-of-16 free throws and had a slight edge on the glass, 31-29. Both teams were turnover-prone, with Army finishing with 19 and New Hampshire with 20.
Still, Army controlled most of the game, holding the lead for more than 33 minutes. New Hampshire had the lead for less than four minutes. There were eight ties and eight lead changes, most of which were in the fourth quarter.
Hardy was one of three Army players in double figures with 16 points. She also had three rebounds, six assists and five steals. Fiona Hastick added 13 points, with five rebounds, an assist and a steal. Reese Ericson had 11 points, with three rebounds and a steal.
Tade’s only two points were the game-winning free throws, but she also had three assists.
New Hampshire’s Eva DeChent led with 26 points, including five rebounds and two assists.
Army wraps up its extended group of road games at Howard in Washington D.C. on Dec. 13. Army won’t play another home game until Dec. 29 against Mount Saint Mary. The Black Knights open Patriot League action on Jan. 2 against Colgate at Christl Arena.

NORTH WOODSTOCK, NH – The Ice Castles in North Woodstock, New Hampshire, are set to open this weekend, inviting visitors to enter a world of frosty enchantment.
Why are the Ice Castles blue?
With towering ice walls, sparkling tunnels and glowing sculptures, the Ice Castles are a true winter masterpiece. As crews put the finishing touches on the attraction ahead of Friday’s opening, this year marks one of the attraction’s earliest starts on record.
What makes New Hampshire’s Ice Castles unique is their distinct blue hue, a result of the pristine water sourced from nearby rivers. This natural element enhances the beauty of the castle, which gleams a cool blue under daylight. But it’s after dark when the castles truly transform, illuminated by thousands of LED lights embedded in the ice, creating a magical, glowing spectacle.
What does it take to build the Ice Castles?
Crafting this frozen wonder is no easy feat. The process begins as early as October, with a dedicated team of artists and builders meticulously constructing the castles by hand. They use millions of icicles grown and frozen on-site, working tirelessly to bring the vision to life.
“Mother Nature is 100% the main architect,” said Luke Ely, assistant manager for Ice Castles New Hampshire. “We pretty much do a dance with her the entire season to get what we have today.”
This year’s early-season cold weather provided an unexpected boost, allowing the team to get ahead of schedule for Friday’s opening.
Reflecting on the allure of ice, Ely added, “You don’t see it in this medium too much. Most of the time, winter is kind of like looked at as a harsh, negative, just-get-through-it kind of time time, and ice is the main factor in all that. And being able to do something with it that’s more beautiful and graceful, I thing, draws a lot folks.”
The Ice Castles in New Hampshire aim to remain open through April, weather permitting. Visitors are encouraged to experience this seasonal wonder before Mother Nature decides to reclaim her icy masterpiece.
Two people who were inside an ambulance had to be taken to the hospital when the emergency vehicle crashed Monday evening.
Firefighters responded to the crash on Old Candia Road just before 7:00 p.m.
First responders arrived to find that the driver of the ambulance was not responsive and another person inside the ambulance also needed medical treatment. Both were transported to the Elliot Hospital.
Candia firefighters say one occupant has been discharged from the emergency department while the other has been admitted to the hospital in stable condition.
An initial investigation determined the driver suffered a medical emergency while it was returning to the station, veered into the opposite lane of travel, hitting several small trees and a traffic sign before crashing into a water-filled ditch.
The ambulance passenger was able to exit the crashed vehicle and helped to treat the driver until additional medical units arrived on the scene.
