Maine built a 19-point lead against Stony Brook in the first half and never trailed en route to an America East victory.

An Alfond Arena crowd of 1,948 turned out to watch coach Ted Woodward’s Black Bears extend their winning streak to five games.

They retained sole possession of first place in the conference with the win.

Chris Wroblewski poured in 29 points in Cornell's 60-52 victory over Stony Brook on Saturday.

The result puts Cornell, three-time defending champions, at 4-10 heading into Ivy League play.

“I think every game we've played (that has been close), most of them haven't been going our way,” Wroblewski said. “So it's nice to finally get one of these and boost our confidence going into the Ivy League season. Because now, we're zero and zero.”
