...Black Bears were paced by freshman Junior Bernal, who scored 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting in his collegiate debut. Three-point threat Kevin Reed, a senior guard who scored 14 second-half points to help Maine beat Harvard in the last game the teams played in 2004, was held to 12 points on 5-of-15 shooting...
