The wait was worth it for Hartford as the Hawks knocked off first-place Stony Brook Sunday afternoon at Chase Family Arena. The game was pushed back a day due to the blizzard that struck the Northeast and started 45 minutes after it was scheduled to due travel difficulties for the Seawolves.
Hartford (14-10, 7-4 AE) shot 51 percent from the floor and used an 11-0 second-half run to turn a nine-point deficit into a two-point lead and went on to beat the Seawolves 60-55 to win for the fourth time in its last five games. Mark Nwakamma recorded his ninth 20-point game of the season, finishing with 23 and added nine rebounds. Jameel Warney scored a career-high 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting to go with nine rebounds to lead Stony Brook, which had its four-game losing skid snapped.
On Saturday, Boston U. (13-11, 6-4 AE) moved into third place in the America East standings with a 79-58 win at Binghamton and held the Bearcats to 30 percent shooting. D.J. Irving scored a career-high 27 points to lead the way. Jordan Reed's double double of 17 points and 11 rebounds paced Binghamton.
Elsewhere, Maine (9-15, 4-7 AE) snapped a four-game losing skid with a 66-52 win over Albany (18-8, 7-5 AE). The Black Bears scored 26 of the game's first 37 points. Justin Edwards paced four Maine players in double figures with 16 points. Sam Rowley led Albany with game-highs of 19 points and 15 rebounds.
Finally, Vermont (16-7, 9-2 AE) picked up its four-consecutive win, a 67-55 win at UMBC (6-18, 4-7 AE). The Catamounts, who moved into first place in the league standings following Stony Brook's loss Sunday, outrebounded the Retrievers 42-24 en route to the win. Clancy Rugg's double-double of 18 points and 10 boards paced UVM, while Joey Getz and Brian Neller each had 12 points to lead UMBC.
