I live in Parkton and traveled to New England in July. Proving that you don't have to spend a ton of money to have a wonderful vacation, I spent $120 for round trip airfare and had a great week hiking and eating my way across Vermont. I was lucky to arrive in Burlington during their international arts festival featuring two weeks of events including music, food, arts and crafts. I was also happily surprised to find Vermont such a gourmet treat, with proud private producers of quality fare ranging from hand-made chocolates to great breads, cheeses and wines; I found some almond-cinnamon nut butter at the farmers market that I could've lived on all week!

For much of last night, host UMBC seemed destined to wipe clean the bitter memory of last month's embarrassingly one-sided loss to America East leader Vermont. Then came the second half. Leading by nine, the Retrievers at once began to succumb to the Catamounts' potent inside-outside scoring attack, giving up 11 straight points and never regaining the lead in a 77-65 loss, ending their season-best three-game winning streak. It marked the first time all season that UMBC lost after leading at the half.

COLLEGE PARK - The flashing lights and pulsating music that accompany the introduction of the starting lineup get the fans at Comcast Center, particularly the student section, fired up at the beginning of each Maryland home game. If only the pre-game fireworks would have the same effect on the Terrapins. As Gary Williams goes after his 400th victory at his alma mater tonight against Vermont (1-1), Maryland (2-0) will try to do something it has yet to accomplish in its first two games this season: hit shots and make plays right from the opening tip. "We have to figure out ways to start the game and what method to use to get everyone on the team hyped up and ready to play," junior forward Landon Milbourne said yesterday.

VESTAL, N.Y. -- UMBC's offense struggled throughout yesterday's America East semifinal against Vermont. But the Retrievers maintained their poise and took advantage of some clutch free-throw shooting plus tough defense in the final minutes to make school history. Ray Barbosa went 15-for-15 from the free-throw line, scored a game-high 29 points and teamed with Cavell Johnson to spark a late rally that carried UMBC to a 73-64 victory over Vermont in an America East semifinal at the Binghamton University Events Center.

BURLINGTON, Vt. -- With leading scorer Brian Hodges sidelined by an ankle injury, four players in the lineup with four fouls for the final minutes and Vermont's sellout crowd roaring, the odds were against UMBC yesterday. But paced by a career-high 26 points from junior guard Jay Greene, 21 from senior guard Ray Barbosa and a 12-point, 12-rebound effort from junior forward Darryl Proctor, the Retrievers beat the odds and the Catamounts, 75-73, at Patrick Gymnasium before an announced 3,266.

UMBC delivered another statement to the America East Conference last night, taking another whack at the fifth-place preseason prediction of league coaches. It was some statement. It was some whack. The Retrievers shot 66.7 percent in the second half and outworked Vermont, 78-60, for their eighth straight win at the RAC Arena. "We don't allow someone's opinion of us to become our reality," UMBC coach Randy Monroe said of the preseason slight. "It's our motivation." The Retrievers (11-5, 3-0)

The roots run deep between Loyola coach Jimmy Patsos and Vermont coach Mike Lonergan, as they were teammates at Catholic University and worked under Maryland coach Gary Williams. The similarities between the two coaches extend to the court, where both have the same fiery style and like to play up-tempo to force their opponents into turning over the ball. Patsos got the best of his former roommate as the Greyhounds shot 52.2 percent from three-point range en route to a physical 83-79 victory over the Catamounts last night before an announced 1,327 at Reitz Arena.
