Lowell, Mass.-- UMBC men's basketball saw their six game win streak come to an end in an 88-71 loss to UMass Lowell on Saturday night. Senior Keondre Kennedy (Atlanta, Ga.) had a game-high 19 points with six rebounds in the loss.

The Retrievers fall to 12-11, 7-5 AE on the year while the River Hawks improve to 13-11, 5-7 AE.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

The Retrievers would get out to a quick 4-0 lead off buckets from Nathan Johnson (Adel, Iowa) and Yaw Obeng-Mensah (Toronto, Ontario).
Darnell Rogers (Baltimore, Md./Indian Land (SC)/New Mexico JC) would hit a three to push the advantage to 9-5 after UMass Lowell responded to the opening run.
The River Hawks would hold the Retrievers scoreless over the next two minutes to take their first lead of the game. However, that would not last long, as a Szymon Wojcik (Wroclaw, Poland) three and one tied it up.
That would spark the offense for both teams, as the two sides traded buckets, going just about five minutes on non-stop play.
UMBC would get out to their largest lead of the half, 37-30 after Rogers found Obeng-Mensah for an and one at the under four timeout.
The River Hawks would throw the final punch of the half, cutting the Retriever lead to 39-36 at the break
L.J. Owens (Annapolis, Md./Severn School/William & Mary) and Keondre Kennedy each had seven points in the opening half as UMBC shot over 50 percent from the floor, and 6-7 (85.5 percent) from three.
The River Hawks came out in the second half and battled to take the lead back early on.
Kennedy would answer that run with a transition three to retake the lead.
However an 11-0 River Hawk run would put them in front by double digits to force a UMBC timeout.
That run would be all UMass Lowell would need, leading by as many as 18 in the second half in an 88-71 win.

NOTABLE:

Kennedy finished with 19 points on 7-11 shooting with six rebounds.
Owens and Wojcik each had 11 points with Obeng-Mensah grabbing a team-best eight rebounds.
UMBC shot over 50 percent from the floor in the contest.
