BANGOR, Maine (AP) Jahad Thomas scored 19 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished off six assists to help power the University of Massachusetts-Lowell to an 88-64 win over Maine in an America East Conference battle Wednesday night.

The red-shirt senior leads the team in scoring and rebounding (19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds) and his 80 assists also is a team high.

The River Hawks (9-13, 3-6) built a 14-point first-half lead, taking a 49-35 advantage into halftime, and led by as many as 29 points, 76-47.

Ryan Jones finished with 18 points and Matt Harris contributed 16 for the River Hawks.
