Coach Mullen: "I told the players how proud I am of them.  I thought we played a much better game today in terms of how we were able to come back in the second half.  We had a nice first quarter, but our second quarter killed us.  They scored a lot of points off of our turnovers yet again.  But I think we showed a lot of resilience and a lot of progress in the third quarter when we had different pace on offense and we were getting the ball into Lucia.  I am really proud of our effort and I think we have a lot to build upon."
 
How it Happened
 

• Maine hit back-to-back threes to open the game on a 6-0 run.  Lucia Decortes, fresh off her career-high 12 points on Saturday, scored UAlbany's first basket, a layup from Ellen Hahne.
• Trailing 16-13 to start the second quarter, UAlbany forced a shot clock violation on Maine's first possession, and then cut the lead to one when Decortes hit another layup off a miss from Hahne.  The Black Bears responded with a 9-0 run to take a 10-point lead with 6:59 left in the first half.
• The Great Danes pieced together a 5-0 run to counter Maine's 11-0 run, only to see Maine recover to score the next eight-straight to take a 38-22 lead with less than one minute remaining in the second quarter.  The Black Bears arrived at halftime leading 40-24.
• UAlbany scored the first five points of the second half, holding Maine scoreless for more than four minutes.  The Black Bears missed each of their first four shots after halftime.
• With 1:14 left in the third, Decortes hit a layup to match her career-high 12 points set in yesterday's game against the Black Bears.  UAlbany outscored Maine 17-8 in the third to cut the Black Bear's lead to 48-41 heading into the final quarter.
• Early in the fourth, UAlbany cut Maine's lead to 48-44 when Kayla Cooper hit one of two free throws.  For the remainder of the game, Maine outscored UAlbany 15-3 to seal the 63-47 victory.
• Maine once again capitalized on UAlbany's turnovers to the tune of 25 points.  UAlbany saw Kyara Frames score 16 and Decortes set her second career-high in as many games with 14.  The Great Danes outrebounded the Black Bears 23-19, and outscored Maine 11-2 off the bench.
