Maine advances to America East Women’s Basketball Championship
ORONO, Maine (WABI) – Maine advanced past Binghamton with a 64-58 win over Binghamton in the America East semifinals.
The Bearcats led 23-19 and 45-40 through three quarters, but the Black Bears took over the rest of the way.
“This is what we want. This is what we wanted coming into preseason. It was our goal: going to the championship and obviously winning it. I’m just excited to have the opportunity to play another time in front of the fans and in The Pit,” said Anne Simon, graduate guard.
“They battle, and they love each other. I say it a lot, but they’re just great humans, great basketball players, and great people,” said Amy Vachon, head coach.
Maine will host the Vermont Catamounts in the America East Championship on Friday at 5 p.m. on ESPNU.
Vermont defeated UAlbany, 50-46, in the other America East Semifinal.
