PROMOTIONS: Military Appreciation Day
The University of Maine athletics department is proud to once again bring to our service men and women its Military Appreciation Series, presented by General Dynamics Bath Iron Works. The series, in its 11th year, provides the opportunity for the Black Bears to honor our military men and women at select athletic events over the course of the 2026-27 season. A major component of the Military Appreciation Series is to provide all military personnel, veterans and their immediate family members complimentary tickets to each of the selected games. Military personnel and veterans with proper identification are asked to call the ticket office at 207-581-BEAR to reserve complimentary tickets for themselves and their immediate family members.
LAST TIME OUT:
ORONO, Maine — The University of Maine women's basketball team led Big Ten opponent Oregon for much of Friday night's game at Memorial Gymnasium, but the Ducks pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 79–72 win in front of a sold out crowd of 1,507.
Lala Woods led Maine with 21 points, making six three-pointers. Maddie Fitzpatrick added 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists, while Olivia Alvarez, Breen and Price scored nine apiece. The Black Bears shot 14-of-30 from beyond the arc, 25-of-61 overall from the floor (41.0) and outrebounded the Ducks 38–31.
Maine (2–1) built an eight-point lead after the first quarter and stretched its advantage to 11 in the second. The Black Bears took a 33–27 lead into halftime, fueled by timely three-point shooting and a defense that held Oregon to 11 points in the opening period.
Â
A LOOK AT THE BLACK BEARS:
Maine's offensive start has been impressive as the Black Bears have tallied 70 or more points in three consecutive games for the first time since a stretch back in January of 2024. Maddie Fitzpatrick, the reigning America East Player of the Week, is off to a rapid start as she ranks in the top five among America East leaders in scoring (2nd-17.3), rebounding (1st-11.7), and assists (5th-4.0). Lala Woods, coming off a career-high 21 point effort with six triples against Oregon, is seventh in the conference in scoring (15.7) and tops in the conference and fifth nationally with 4.0 triples made per game. Her 41.4 percent clip from three-point range sits 11th among conference leaders.
After concluding the 2025-26 campaign ranked sixth in the country with just 11.4 turnovers per game, including 18 performances of 11 or fewer turnovers, the Black Bears have now posted single-digit turnover totals in four of their last six after just nine giveaways at Merrimack. Maine currently leads the conference with 11.3 triples made per game, seventh best in the nation.Â
Head coach Amy Vachon returns for her 11th season at the helm and stands just 10 wins shy of 200 for her career and one away from passing Boston University's Christine Basile to move into fourth on the America East all-time coaching wins list.
A LOOK AT BROWN:
The Bears enter 1-3 on the season after scoring their lone win of the year against Bucknell, 73-61. Brown opened the season, like Maine, against Siena as the Bears fell in that season-opener to the Saints, 82-71. Aima Ofunrein, who has come off the bench in three of Brown's four games and is averaging just 16.5 minutes per game, currently leads the Bears in scoring at 14.0 points per game to go along with 7.5 rebounds with a 73.1 percent clip from the floor. She is followed in the scoring column by Gia Powell at 13.0 points per game. Brown enters averaging 66.0 points per game but allowing 75.2 and averaging 17.8 turnovers per outing. Â
SERIES WITH BROWN:
Maine and Brown meet for the 16th time with the Black Bears holding an 8-7 edge in the all-time series. The series has been tight of late, with Maine winning three of the last five but have dropped each of the last two including a 70-39 decision last year at Brown. Two of the last three meetings went to overtime with Brown winning 76-70 in a 2019 overtime meeting and the Black Bears earning a 102-96 double-overtime win in 2018. Maine is 7-2 all-time at Brown. The teams first met in 1984, a 60-58 Brown win in Providence.
