UMaine Men Drops AE Opener To UVM

UMaine's Wes Myers scored 30 points but it wasn't enough to beat the Vermont Catamounts in the America East Conference opener at the Cross Center. The Cats beat the Bears 90-77.

The injury riddled Black Bears stayed within striking distance all night. But UVM shot 63% from the field and outscored a small Maine lineup 54-34.

Kurt Steidl led the Catamounts with 20 points, including career point #1000.

Along with Myers 30 points, Ryan Bernstein (12), Aaron Calixte (11) and Austin Howard (11) were in double figure scoring.

UMaine falls to 4-12 (0-1 AE). Vermont is 11-5 (1-0 AE).
