Bears Vs Hawks Starts America East Play

America East conference play begins tonight at the Cross Center in Bangor for the UMaine women's team when the Bears take on Hartford. Talk about role reversal - the Black Bears begin AE play with a 5-3 record, the Hawks are 1-8.

Think about this...Hartford owns a 17 game winning streak against Maine. The Bears have not beaten the Hawks since 2005. They have not beaten the Hawks at home since 2004.

Is tonight the night all that changes?

The Bears are averaging about 63 points per game with Ashleigh Roberts leading the way with 16.5 a game... Hartford is averaging just 49 PPG.
