UMass Lowell unfortunately witnessed the end of their seven-game winning streak on Thursday. They took a 72-65 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Catamounts. UMass Lowell has struggled against Vermont recently, as their game on Thursday was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Meanwhile, the Black Bears were just a bucket shy of victory on Saturday and fell 51-50 to the Bearcats. The result shouldn’t come as a shock considering that’s the fewest points Maine has scored all season.
The River Hawks’ defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 14-5. As for the Black Bears, they have traveled a rocky road recently, as they’ve lost seven of their last nine contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 10-11 record this season.
Thursday’s match is shaping up to be a scrappy game: UMass Lowell have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 40.8 rebounds per game. It’s a different story for Maine, though, as they’ve been averaging only 32.6 rebounds per game. Given UMass Lowell’s sizeable advantage in that area, Maine will need to find a way to close that gap.
