The UMBC Women's Basketball team looks to get back into the win column when it hosts UMass Lowell on Saturday at 1 p.m. on ESPN+.

Last time out, Laura Lacambra continued her stellar play as she poured in a career-high 14 points, but defending America East champion Vermont rallied past host UMBC, 70-55, on Thursday morning in front of over 2,300 screaming school kids at The Peake. 

Anna Blount also scored 14 and pulled down a team-high seven rebounds, while Jaden Walker added 11 points of her own.

The loss snapped UMBC's four game winning-streak and dropped its record to 6-9 and 2-1 in America East play.
