The Wildcats will play in the tournament semifinals for the first time since 2014 on Sunday at 2 p.m. against the University of Maine on ESPN3. The No. 4 Black Bears topped No. 5 Binghamton, 57-40, in Saturday's second quarterfinal game.
The UNH-Maine winner advances to the America East Championship game on Friday, March 10 at 4:30 p.m. on ESPNU. If the Wildcats beat Maine, they will host the title game in Lundholm Gymnasium on Friday. They have never played in the league's championship game.
UNH's Maureen Magarity was named America East Coach of the Year on Friday night and her team improved its program-best record to 26-4 on Saturday. The previous team record for wins was 23.
The Wildcats have won seven straight and 20 of their last 21 games.
