Marcus Rouse scored 17 points and Stony Brook held on to defeat Maryland-Baltimore County 64-56 on Sunday in the America East Conference opener for both teams.
The Seawolves (6-6) led 34-21 at halftime and maintained a double-digit advantage for the first 3 minutes of the second half. Though the Retrievers (1-13) rallied to within one point on two occasions — on Adrian Satchell's layup with 11:40 left and Jamar Wertz' 3-pointer with 3:53 to go — they were unable to take the lead or pull even.
In fact, UMBC led only once — on Travis King's 3-pointer only 64 seconds into the game.
