UMBC women’s basketball team snaps UMaine’s 17-game home win streak

It was a long afternoon for the cold-shooting University of Maine women’s basketball team on Sunday — and a terrific one for the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Speedy and talented guards Te’yJah Oliver and Lyric Swann constantly blew past UMaine’s defenders en route to converting easy layups or dishing off to teammates for short jumpers as the Retrievers snapped UMaine’s 17-game Cross Insurance Center winning streak against America East opponents with a 74-54 victory. UMaine (8-14, 4-4 AE) had no answer for UMBC’s dribble penetration as the Retrievers improved to 6-12 overall and 2-5 in the conference under first-year head coach Johnetta Hayes. Five-foot-eight senior Oliver poured in 25 points on 10-for-13 shooting and also grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds, dished out three assists and made three steals.
