Stony Brook and Maine play their final non-conference tilts of the season in America East women's basketball action on Sunday afternoon.

The Seawolves (8-4)  visit Columbia at 2 p.m. A win over the Lions would give the Seawolves, who are currently 8-4, their best winning percentage (69.2 percent) and most wins (9) through regular-season non-conference action since joining the America East for the 2001-02 season.

The Black Bears (6-7) host Yale at 2 p.m. on AmericaEast.TV which is now available on mobile devices without the use of an app. This is the second meeting between Maine and Yale, with the Black Bears winning the first meeting in 2003. Senior guard Ashleigh Roberts leads the team at 12.8 points per game and is just 30 points away from 1,000 in her career.

Saturday saw UMBC (2-11, 1-0) defeat Binghamton (3-11, 0-1), 47-32, in the conference opener for both teams. The Retrievers snapped an 11-game losing streak with the win behind 13 points and nine rebounds from freshman Sara Tarbert. UMBC's defense was the difference in the game, holding the Bearcats to 22.8 percent shooting from the floor in the game.

Albany (10-3) won its non-conference finale, 75-66, at Northeastern with Megan Craig leading the Great Danes with a career-high 33 points, the third highest total in Albany history. Both teams were called for 27 fouls in the game with Albany going 24-of-35 from the free throw line while Northeastern hit 28-of-34.

Hartford (4-10) beat Dartmouth for the ninth-straight time, 56-43, in the Hawks final non-conference game of the 2013-14 season. Amber Bepko paced Hartford with 11 points, all coming in the first half, but it was a defensive effort that held the Big Green to 28.8 percent shooting and forced 24 turnovers that was the difference in the game.
