Jeremy Suero (Providence, RI) hit for 29 points in a 10-17 shooting performance tonight as the Mustangs thumped the University of Maine at Presque Isle Owls in Auburn by a 69-64 score.
Despite arriving back late last night from a win at Hampshire College and a sluggish beginning to today's game, the Mustangs went to the locker room up by a 32-31 score at the half.
A collective halftime commitment to share the ball and produce more on court effort took shape in the second half as CM took an 8 point lead at the 34 minute mark and increased the lead to 10 points with 2 minutes left to play. CM played their normal full court pressure using all 12 players in the effort.
Carrington Miller (Bingham, Maine) enjoyed another stellar night raking in 16 rebounds and scoring 8 points.
The Mustangs go on Thanksgiving break with an overall record of 8-3 and 4-0 Yankee Conference record.
