Box Score

BALTIMORE, Md. - The University of Maine men's basketball team fell on the road on Saturday afternoon, as the UMBC Retrievers shot 7-13 from three in the second half to pull away from the Black Bears and take the 63-53 victory.

MAINE GAME NOTES

Andrew Fleming was the lone Black Bear to reach double-digits, pouring in 18 points on 6-11 shooting, alongside five rebounds and a pair of steals.
Just three players on Maine recorded a field goal in the second half, while Fleming had four makes from the field on his own in the final stanza.
Maine's defensive pressure waned in the second half as well, as evidenced by UMBC's shooting line. A 30.8/33.3/77.9 first half turned into a 45.5/53.8/80.0 second for the Retrievers, highlighted by the seven made threes.
UMBC now runs their win streak over Maine up to 11 straight.

UP NEXT

Maine drops to 6-15 overall and 2-5 within the America East.
Their next tilt will take place at The Pit in Memorial Gym on the Orono Campus, a noontime matchup against Hartford this Saturday. Tickets for the special venue can be found here.
