Impressive night for Blanca Millan, who came in averaging a team-best 17.7 points and though she scored 14 points it came on 5-of-18 shooting. Where Millan was most impressive was on the defensive end as the sophomore came within one of tying the program record for steals (she had nine of Maine's 16 (!)) in a 70-65 victory.
Tanesha Sutton picked up a lot of the offensive slack for Maine, scoring 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting to help the first-place Black Bears improve to 11-3 in America East play and 18-9 overall.
Twenty turnovers really hurt Umass Lowell, but otherwise this didn't look like a now 4-22 team. The River Hawks hit 51% of their shots (24-of-47) and got excellent games from a pair of guards as both Brianna Rudolph (21 points, 8-of-14 shooting) and Paula Lopez (15 points on 7-of-12 shooting with five assists) led the way.
* Commentator Sandy Thompson took saying the ridiculous phrase "dribble drive" to ridiculous levels. Not only did Thompson give us the extremely-rare pre-game "dribble drive", she added eight (!) more the rest of the night. That's an average of one every five game minutes. Hall of Fame performance, Sandy.

Game 234 - Maine women at Clemson
December 2 at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, SC
ACC Network
This game was tied at halftime and Maine led 38-35 at about the six-minute mark of the third quarter, but the host Tigers used a 22-5 run to pull away in a 69-61 victory.
Clemson, which got 21 points from new Scoochie Smith All Star Nelly Perry and 20 from Danielle Edwards (each played went 3-for-5 from three-point range), is 8-0 for the first time since the 1998-99 team began 11-0.
The Black Bears must have one of the most diverse rosters in the country as nine players were born in six different countries outside the United States, including three from Spain and a pair from Croatia.
