UMaine led for the first 31 minutes and 35 seconds on the road before succumbing at Vermont. Evan Fjeld's hoop gave the Catamounts their first lead at 54-52. After a Junior Bernal hoop knotted it at 56 with 6:44 left, Vermont (15-6, 6-2 America East) finished the contest with a 19-9 run.
The loss is the second straight for UMaine after it held a double-digit lead. The Black Bears led by as many as 10 in the first half against Vermont and as many as eight in the second half.
The Black Bears (8-13, 3-5) fall to seventh place and will finish the two-game road trip with a game at Binghamton Saturday. The Bearcats fell out of a first-place tie with a loss at UMBC Wednesday.
