Outlook: Maine women bid adieu to Bangor Auditorium with a non-conference game against the Lady Indians. Rachel Bouchard’s last home game will feature a special presentation for New England’s highest Div. women’s scorer. Black Bears are riding a 5-game winning streak. They have also won 13 of last 15. Over last four games, Maine has outscored opponents by an average of 91.3 to 50. Arkansas State has good height, but all six 6-footers are first-year Div. I players. The Indians, who defeated Boston University 77-74 on Monday, lost to Lamar 88-77 on Saturday.
