Today's game marked the 60th meeting between the UMaine Farmington Beavers and the University of Southern Maine Huskies. Southern Maine leads the overall series 48-12.  The Huskies have won 18 consecutively over UMaine Farmington dating back to the 2000-2001 season.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Southern Maine scored the first 12 points of the game and led the Beavers wire-to-wire in the win.  The Huskies opened the game going 4-for-4 from the field to start hot and finished the first quarter up on the Beavers 21-8.  Wiles had 10 of her 16 in the opening frame.
  • The Huskies continued to roll offensively in the second and outscored UMF 8-2 in the opening three minutes to lead 29-10 on a layup from senior Avah Ingalls (Hampstead, NH/Pinkerton Academy).  The Huskies led by 25, 38-13, with 1:18 left before the halftime break on a three from sophomore Morgan Cunningham (Augusta, Maine/Cony) before the Beavers scored the final four points of the quarter to trail 38-17.
  • UMF cut into the Huskies lead in the third, and trailed by 17, 46-29, after a jumper from Pingree, but Christopher countered with a three and USM outscored UMF 6-2 to close the quarter and lead 52-31 headed into the fourth.
  • Consecutive threes from Wiles, Christopher and Shipley started the Huskies in the fourth and a Shipley layup at 6:58 made it a 63-35 Husky.  UMF never got closer than 26 the rest of the way, and the Huskies had their largest lead of the game (32 points) 73-41 with 3:08 to go on a traditional three-point play from freshman Franki Bello (Leominster, Mass.) en route to the 73-42 final.
