PRINCESS ANNE, Maryland -- The new year for UMES began with a loss, but Wednesday night’s 69-60 defeat at NJIT won’t diminish the program’s accomplishment thus far.The Hawks (8-9) recorded seven non-conference wins, which are the most since the team competed as an independent in 1980-81. They missed out on resuming their play in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with a winning record, but coach Bobby Collins said the game against NJIT should mirror upcoming league games.
“Last night, I told our guys that this team is going to be similar to what our games are going to be and we’ve got to learn how to respond to that,” Collins said. Thursday morning. “This team is obviously in unfamiliar territory as far as the success we’ve had thus far. So this has been very exciting coaching these young men. We’ve just got to stay focused and keep doing what we’re doing.”
