UMaine Women’s Basketball Beats UMBC In America East Quarterfinal

The University of Maine women's basketball team advanced to the next round of the America East Tournament with a 65-43 quarterfinal win over UMBC Saturday at Cross Insurance Arena in Portland.

Blanca Millan scored a game-high 21 points for the Black Bears, and Tanesha Sutton added 11 points and 10 rebounds, her seventh career double-double.
