VEAZIE, Maine (Interstat) — Saint Joseph’s survived a frantic final possession to edge Maine 63-62 in a women’s NCAA Division I basketball game Friday night at Cross Insurance Center. The Hawks improved to 2-0 while the Black Bears fell to 0-1 in their season opener.

Saint Joseph’s used a 22-point third quarter to build a cushion, then held on as Maine’s Asta Blauenfeldt hit a 3-pointer with two seconds remaining to pull within one. The Black Bears’ last-second shot attempt missed. Adrianna Smith led Maine with 25 points, while Gabby Casey scored 19 for the Hawks.
