For the fourth time in the last seven seasons, UMBC has advanced to the America East Tournament semifinals. The sixth-seeded Retrievers shot a season-best 54.5 percent from the floor and upset No. 3 Hartford, 69-62 in Saturday's quarterfinals. They will face nemesis Vermont- the No. 2 Catamounts defeated No. 7 UNH, 61-42, in the first quarterfinal of the day. Vermont holds a prohibitive 20-4 series lead and has won the last 11 meetings.
