No one would have faulted UMBC fans for fearing the worst as Vermont scored three consecutive goals - including two in the final 47 seconds of the second quarter - to knot the score at 6 with 6:50 left in the third period. But the Retrievers answered with a four-goal run into the fourth quarter en route to an eventual 11-8 victory in an important America East contest Saturday. UMBC's response was especially encouraging after the team failed to hang onto a lead of 8-6 in the third quarter and 11-8 in the final period that allowed Towson to record a come-from-behind 12-11 decision Wednesday night.

The UMBC men's basketball team was having plenty of problems at home before last night. Then, youthful, talented Vermont came to RAC Arena and humbled the Retrievers from start to finish in every phase of the game. Freshman forward Joe Trapani scored a game-high 25 points to lead the sharp-shooting Catamounts, who dominated the boards and shredded the UMBC defense, as Vermont rolled to an 83-63 rout before 1,320. UMBC (6-11, 2-2) lost for the sixth time in its past eight games and fell to 1-5 at home.

THETFORD, Vt. -- This is not Vermont at its finest. The autumn leaves that turn this state into a foliage theme park have gone by. And Vermont's image as the benign, harmonious state that dines on Ben & Jerry's and sends the only Socialist to Congress is being shattered. This fall, a heated, angry governor's race hinging on civil unions for gay couples has divided neighbors and split the seams of what everyone now describes as Two Vermonts. The split is easy to see in Thetford, where some folks go to the bean and ham supper at the community hall Sunday night and others commute across the New Hampshire border to Dartmouth College on Monday morning.

BRIDPORT, Vt.-- --Holsteins on the Blue Spruce Farm step gingerly around a mechanical shovel that scoops their waste and shoots it into a "cow-powered" electric generator. Besides pumping out 8,000 gallons of milk a day, these 2,000 dairy cows also light up 400 homes. The fuel is methane gas that bubbles from manure treated with bovine bacteria in heated underground tanks. Environmentally conscious utility customers in the Green Mountain State can pay an extra $20 a month to get their electricity from such manure-fueled generators.

UMBC led Vermont by 10 points with just less than a minute to play yesterday, but the fact that the Retrievers had been up by 20 just a few minutes earlier was enough to make coach Randy Monroe as animated as ever on the sideline. And he had good reason: UMBC had never defeated Vermont in six tries -- including an 0-4 mark in the Monroe era that began last season, making the Catamounts the only America East opponent it had yet to beat. But yesterday, the Retrievers ended that, never trailing on their way to an 86-73 win before 2,122 at the RAC Arena on a day when the school recognized nine former athletes being enshrined into the UMBC Hall of Fame.
