Five hundred points sounds like a good college basketball career.

Now combine that production with 250 rebounds and close to 150 assists and 150 steals, and good starts to morph into great.

Not to mention that Sarah Schrader still has most of her senior season at Hamilton College ahead of her.

Schrader, who made the transition from Class D high school star at Rangeley to the NCAA Division III school in Clinton, N.Y., hit the scoring milestone on the zeroes with her final basket of the game in the Continentals’ 70-60 victory over Utica.

With the exception of a few mop-up seconds at the finish, Schrader played all 40 minutes for Hamilton.

The 5-foot-8 guard scored a career-high 22 points in Hamilton’s 93-48 rout of Cazenovia College in its season-opener. Schrader leads her team in steals (3 per game), is second in assists (2.8 a contest) and third in scoring (10.8). She’s also tearing down five rebounds a night.

Sophomore splash

Also at Hamilton College, Andrew Brodsky of Auburn (Edward Little) launched his sophomore swimming season with three top-10 finishes in a four-team home meet.

Brodsky swam the anchor leg of the 400-yard medley relay, leading the Continentals to third place. Brodsky also snagged sixth in the 200 individual medley and ninth in the 100 freestyle.

Cupcakes for everyone

He’s emerging as a star at the University of Maine, anyhow. But if you ever wondered how much Troy Barnies of Auburn would have dominated at the Division III level of men’s basketball, he provided an authoritative answer Thursday night.

Barnies erupted for 16 points and a career-high 20 rebounds, leading Maine to a 126-50 rout of the University of Maine at Presque Isle.

The win continued Maine’s unsurprising domination of a series in which the flagship campus has hosted one of the satellite schools on a rotating basis each year.

Edward Little product Barnies has started all eight games for the Black Bears, averaging 7.5 points and 6 rebounds. He’s second on the team in the latter category.

UMPI also played a captive audience as freshman Ryan Martin of Wayne (Maranacook) celebrated a breakout game. Martin, one of the deadliest shooters in Maine high school hoop history, knocked down 20 points for the Black Bears, including 6-of-10 from 3-point range.

Maine probably deserved the scheduling breather. The Black Bears absorbed November road losses at Providence and South Alabama, and they’ll travel to Oklahoma and Boston College later this month.

USM’s triple threat

Friday was another big night for the Lewiston-Auburn connection on the University of Southern Maine men’s hockey team.

Jamie Gilbert, formerly of St. Dominic Regional High School, made 36 saves to backstop a 6-3 victory over Williams. Gilbert, now a Southern Maine senior after starting his career at Division I Massachusetts-Amherst, is 3-2 with a 2.52 goals-against average, a .915 save percentage and one shutout.

Senior Kyle Smith of Auburn (Edward Little) picked up his third assist of the season on a power-play goal, one of three strikes that broke open a 3-3 deadlock in the final three minutes.

Jon Rutt of Scarborough, who began his career at St. Dom’s, set up the game-winning goal by Paul Conter before supplying an empty-netter of his own. Rutt ranks second for the Huskies will 11 points.

Good out of the gate

There’s been no learning curve for University of New England freshman basketball player Kari Pelletier, at least on paper.

Pelletier, a 5-4 guard from South Paris, is producing 8.9 points and 2 assists per game for the Nor’easters. She also owns nine steals and is hitting at a 77 percent clip from the free-throw line on a team-high 34 attempts through seven games. Pelletier has scored in double digits four times, topped by 17 against Maine Maritime.

As a senior at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School, Pelletier steered the Vikings to the Eastern Class A championship.

Chelsey Durgin of Gray also has appeared in all seven games as a first-year forward for UNE (4-3).

A third local freshman, Sean Caddigan of Bethel (Telstar), is finding his range with the men’s team at the Biddeford school. Caddigan has seen time in all six games for the Nor’easters, chalking up four points per game.

Caddigan teed it up with UNE’s golf team during the fall.

Moore where that came from

Emily Moore of Lisbon was named Sunrise Conference Rookie of the Week for the last full sequence of November. Moore, a freshman at UMaine-Presque Isle, earned the distinction with nine points against Colby and by loading the stat sheet with 11 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals in a victory over Thomas.

Moore also scored 10 points in her collegiate debut against UMaine-Farmington.
