RECENT RESULTS

Hartford 63, at Cornell 61
The Hawks have put together back-to-back wins for the first time during the 2006-07 campaign under first-year head coach Dan Leibovitz... Freshman guard Joe Zeglinski led Hartford with 18 points and five rebounds, while Bo Taylor chipped in with 15 points and eight boards... Cornell is now 1-2 versus America East opponents on the season as the Big Red have lost to Hartford and Binghamton with a victory over Stony Brook.
UMES 64, at Stony Brook 58
The Seawolves dropped game one of their three-game homestand, which also features Villanova (Nov. 30) and Hofstra (Dec. 5)... Mike Popoko lead Stony Brook with 13 points, while Mitchell Beauford (11 points) and Brandon Hickson (10) also netted double-figures... The Seawolves dominated the glass, 41-30, but 17 turnovers and just 39.0 percent shooting proved to be too costly... SBU's Ricky Lucas did not play due to a sprained ankle.
Monday, November 27
UMBC 86, at Morgan State 72
Brian Hodges came off the bench to score a career-high 36 points in just 27 minutes played to lead the Retrievers to victory... UMBC evened its record at 3-3 as the Retrievers have now won three of their last four outings... On the back of Hodges, UMBC fought back from a nine-point deficit to earn its second non-conference road win of the season... The Retrievers won just one non-conference road game all of last season... Hodges’ 36 points marks the third-most prolific scoring game in UMBC’s 21-year Division I history... Hodges’ performance is the most since Derell Thompson scored a school-record 43 at Towson on February 15, 1992.
at Colgate 78, Binghamton 70
The Bearcats had their conference-best three-game win streak snapped by the Raiders... Binghamton led 41-37 four minutes into the second half before Colgate’s Jon Simon, who scored a game-high 23 points, reeled off nine-straight to give the Raiders the lead for good... Richard Forbes scored a team-high 19 points with six rebounds to pace the Bearcats... Colgate shot 54.0 percent from the field, compared to Binghamton’s 37.9 percent...

Corey Lowe netted 11 points to lead the Terrers as the only player to net double-figures... The Red Storm scored 29 points off Boston’s 26 turnovers... In a first half where neither team led by more than four points, the Terriers scored six of the final seven points before the break to take a slim 26-25 halftime lead... Ahmad Nivins led St. John’s with a game-high 12 points.
