WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — John Carroll and Jason Dunne combined to score 37 points and Hartford used a big first-half run to rout Division-III Western New England, 93-53, and pick up its second victory of the season on Saturday.

Hartford (2-5) had 15 players see action and all but one figured into the scoring.

Carroll finished with 19 points and Dunne contributed another 18 as the Hawks hit 33 of 69 from the field, including 9 of 27 from distance.

Mikey Pettway scored 24 points for Western New England.
