In a year that just saw their counterparts on the men s side forced to cut the season short, Amy Vachon s University of Maine women s basketball program is strong as ever heading down the home stretch of the regular season.
The Black Bears are 15-2 on the season, including a 12-2 record in America East play, three wins and two full games ahead of the field in the conference.
Since taking over the program, Vachon has guided Maine to a 50-12 mark in conference play, including two America East titles. The Black Bears were slated to play in the conference championship game last season before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the season to be called off.
