LYNDONVILLE, Vt. — Maine Maritime Academy delivered a dominant performance on the road, cruising past Vermont State University Lyndon 90-49 on Friday night. The Mariners built a commanding lead early and never looked back, outscoring the Hornets in every quarter en route to a decisive North Atlantic Conference win.

Maine Maritime (15-8 overall, 14-2 North Atlantic) shot efficiently from the floor, connecting on 46.4 percent of its field goals and over 52 percent from 3-point range, while holding VTSU-Lyndon (13-8, 8-6 NAC) to just 27.6 percent shooting.
