Poles Puts Up Big Numbers For Vermont

Vermont senior forward Kelli Poles ripped down 19 rebounds and scored 11 points in the Catamounts' 69-53 win at Stony Brook on Tuesday night. It was the second straight big game for Poles, as she was named America East Player of the Game last Saturday against Albany as well. The Seawolves, who were hosting their Pink Zone game and were wearing pink uniforms, got 23 points out of sophomore Kirsten Jeter, but nobody else stepped up to join her in double-digit points. Vermont junior May Kotsopoulos tallied a team-high 14 points, while junior Courtnay Pilypaitis netted 13 points and handed out 7 helpers to remain the league's assists-leader.

On tap for Wednesday night is Albany at Maine (7 p.m.), Hartford at UMBC (7 p.m.) and Boston U. at Binghamton (7 p.m.). All the home teams will be trying to salvage a split of the regular season series.
