BRUNSWICK, Maine -- Bowdoin College went on a 21-6 run over a seven-minute stretch early in the 2nd half to extend a two-point edge on the way to a 75-57 men's basketball result against the University of New England on Tuesday evening (Nov. 26) at Morrell Gymnasium.

The Nor'easters trailed by as many as nine (13-4) in the opening period, but managed to trim the gap to just a couple at the break (32-30). It was 39-37 before the Polar Bears began to build their advantage, starting with a three-pointer by Zavier Rucker. With 10:30 left, the cushion had grown to 60-43.

UNE shot 43 percent during the initial frame, including 5-of-11 from deep, to keep things close. The hosts flipped the script following halftime, knocking down 56 percent of their field goals while holding the visitors to 36 percent.

David Reynolds came off the bench to post a game-high 15 points for Bowdoin (3-2), and Rucker ended with 13 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. Taiga Kagitomi and Drew Gagnon each added 10 points.

The Nor'easters (4-3) received a double-double of 13 points and match-best 10 boards from Alex Kravchuk. Avery DeBrito went 3-for-3 from downtown to contribute 11 points, while Jesse Matthews and Siddiq Canty tallied nine points.

UNE is back on the court in Biddeford on Monday to face Maine Maritime Academy.
