Healy's Record Showing Nets Week #12 #AEHoops MBB Top Honor
BOSTON – Vermont ran its win streak to five games by posting a pair of wins last week. UMBC also won twice, its first two league games of the year.
UAlbany’s Cameron Healy put forth one of the best individual performances in league history, scoring a Great Dane record 41 points in their win over UMass Lowell on Wednesday.
The top eight teams in the standings will earn #AEPlayoffs berths with the top four teams garnering home quarterfinal games. Getting off to a strong start is crucial as only four times in the league’s 40-year history has a team finished outside the top two in the final regular-season standings and gone on to win the conference championship.
