ORONO, Maine (AP) — Matt Glass scored 17 points and Luke Apfeld scored all 13 of his in the second half as Vermont defeated Maine 73-63 Monday night.
The victory was the seventh in a row for the Catamounts (16-10, 10-2 America East Conference), who remained one game behind first-place Stony Brook.
Brendan Bald scored 11 of his 13 points in the first half to help Vermont lead 37-25 at the break.
The Black Bears (11-11, 5-6) closed to within 45-41 with a 9-0 run, but baskets by Apfeld and Brian Voelkel pushed the Catamounts’ lead back to eight points, and they led by at least six the rest of the way.
