NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (Interstat) — The Illinois-Chicago Flames look to continue their winning momentum when they face the struggling Maine Black Bears in a non-conference women’s basketball game Friday at Hynes Center.

UIC (3-3) arrives having won three of its last four games, including a 66-64 road victory over Ball State on Monday. The Flames’ offense has been fueled by a trio of scorers: Julia Coleman and Chantrel Clayton each scored 16 points in the win, while Jessica Carrothers added 10 points and five assists.

Conversely, Maine (1-4) is looking to rebound from a 70-39 loss to Brown on Sunday. The Black Bears’ lone win this season was a 79-53 victory over Stonehill on Nov. 17. Adrianna Smith, who had six points, four rebounds and two assists against Brown, is a key player for Maine.

The neutral-site contest in New York pits a Flames team that has found its rhythm against a Black Bears squad seeking consistency. UIC’s recent success has been built on balanced scoring and defense, holding three of its last four opponents under 66 points. Maine will need a significant offensive improvement after being held to 47 points or fewer in two of its four losses.

The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. tip-off.
