Chaloux, Cox in double figures in Colby-Sawyer win

Pete doesn't exactly enjoy it when I just copy-paste things into this blog, but, tonight that's what I'm doing. I just got this release from the Colby-Sawyer men's basketball win over Castleton State, and there's more than a few familiar names in it from both sides.
