BALTIMORE – The UMBC Women's Basketball team erased a 10-point halftime deficit to stun first place Maine, 67-59, on Thursday night at The Peake.

UMBC (9-17, 5-9 AE) used an 18-2 that spanned the second and third quarters to get in front of Maine (18-9, 11-2 AE) for good.

Anna Blount led the Retrievers with 17 points and nine rebounds, while Jordon Lewis tallied 12 points and Jaden Walker added 11.

How it Happened:

  • A Carmen Yánez layup made it a 7-0 run before Maines scored five straight to cut the deficit to 10-9

  • The Black Bears hit their first four shots of the second quarter, including a pair of threes to take a 21-18 lead three minutes in

  • After a pair of Maine free throws, the Retrievers would score the next nine points to take a 40-36 lead six minutes into the half
  • The Black Bears cut the lead to 42-40, but Laura Lacambra and Blount made back-to-back layups to put the Dawgs up six late in the third
  • Maine would score the final four points of the quarter to cut the UMBC lead to 46-44 after three
  • The Retrievers held Maine to 2-12 shooting in the third, including 0-5 from three, en route to outscoring the visitors 22-10 in the frame
  • Jaliena Sanchez would hit a midrange jumper and Lewis followed with a three to give UMBC a quick 51-46 lead in the fourth.
  • Blount would score four straight to put the Dawgs up 55-46 with 5:44 left and force a Maine timeout
