UMaine Women’s Basketball Releases Non-Conference Schedule

The University of Maiine Women's Basketball Team released their non-conference schedule on Monday, August 1st and it's a challenging one! The Black Bears will be playing 13 non-conference opponents, 8 away and 5 at their new home, The Pit in the Memorial Gym, on campus in Orono.

Head Coach Amy Vachon told goblackbears.com

"This year's non-conference schedule is once again extremely challenging. Among our opponents are six teams who qualified for postseason play in 2021-2022. Playing tough teams in the non-conference will undoubtedly prepare us for our America East schedule in 2023. I am excited to see how our team responds to the challenges that we will see this November and December. "

The University of Maine will play all their home games at The Pit in Memorial Gymnasium. They feature incoming freshman, and Miss Maine Basketball Jaycie Christopher, the Skowhegan graduate who transferred to Maine from Boston University over the summer.

LOOK: The story behind every NFL team name

Stacker delved into the story behind every NFL football team name. Overall team records, also included, are reflective of NFL regular-season games. There are some football teams with well-known nicknames—the Jets, for instance, are often referred to as Gang Green—but we also divulge how some teams’ official names are sparingly used (the Jets’ neighbors, the Giants, are actually known as the New York Football Giants). Sometimes a team name can tell you a lot about local history: The Vikings of Minnesota draw upon the area’s strong ties to Scandinavia, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are dripping in local legend related to Florida’s pirate past.

Let’s kick off the countdown with the folks who earned their nickname by buying boxes of used team jerseys.
