Samantha Baranowski scored a career-high 19 points against Hartford after scoring a then career-best 18 points in the win over Vermont. Baranowski is leading the conference in field goal percentage. Maine is second in the America East in rebounding and third in field goal percentage. But the Black Bears are last in the conference in scoring defense and field goal percentage defense and are averaging a league-high 21.1 turnovers per game.
Last time out: Senior Whitney Davis scored a season-high 17 points and the Stony Brook University women’s basketball team cut an 15-point first half deficit to one in the second half but the New Hampshire Wildcats held on late for a 63-53 victory over the Seawolves on Monday night at Lundhold Gymnasium. Davis also grabbed five rebounds for the Seawolves, who shot 44 percent from the field.
