WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — Ashleigh Roberts scored eight of her 13 points in the final three minutes Wednesday as the University of Maine topped Hartford 60-56 in an America East women’s basketball game to end an 18-game losing streak to the Hawks, dating to 2004.

Roberts’ inside shot tied the game at 50 with 3:08 to play. After a missed Hartford jumper, Maine (14-11, 8-4 AE) worked deep into the shot clock with Sophie Weckstrom finding Mikaela Gustafsson for a foul-line jumper as the shot clock buzzer sounded, putting the Black Bears ahead 52-50.

Following a Hartford free throw, Roberts made a move in the post to extend the Black Bears’ lead to 54-51. Roberts missed a free throw after Maine got the ball back on Liz Wood’s steal, but grabbed her own rebound. She was fouled again and converted a pair of free throws before Weckstrom’s three-point play gave Maine a 59-53 lead with 8 seconds left.

Deanna Mayza scored 17 for the Hawks (9-15, 6-5).
