QUINCY, Mass. —  University of New England first-year Lauren Hayden had a career-best 18 points while senior Beth Suggs eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau by scoring 16 as the Nor’easters defeated Eastern Nazarene College, 61-47, in a Commonwealth Coast Conference game Wednesday at LaHue Physical Education Center.

With their school-record 13th consecutive victory, the Nor’easters (18-4, 15-0 CCC) clinched the top seed for the upcoming CCC Championship. Leading by four games in the standings with three regular-season contests remaining, UNE is seeking its first unbeaten CCC ledger since joining the league in 1999.

Hayden, whose 18 points led all scorers, tallied 14 on 5-for-6 shooting in the first half. She finished with a 7-for-8 performance from the floor to go with six steals.

Suggs connected on a jumper with 11:22 left in the game to become the 21st player in program history to score at least 1,000 points. Needing nine markers to reach the plateau heading into the contest, she also led all rebounders with eight.
