Highlighted by two of the most spectacular dunks the gym has seen in years, Bates raced out to leads of 14-0, 30-2 and 40-4 on the way to a 62-15 halftime score in the rout.

Sophomore Josh Britten (Yarmouth, Maine) scored a career-high 11 points, including 3-of-5 three-point shooting, while junior Graham Safford (Hampden, Maine) and first-year Max Eaton (St. Petersburg, Fla.) added 10 points apiece, with Eaton shooting a perfect 4-for-4 from the field. 

Brandon Rogers led the Moose with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Jesse Smith added 10 points.
The tournament continues tomorrow with UMaine-Augusta (0-5) facing UMaine-Farmington (0-0) at 2pm. Bates and UMF will meet on Sunday at 2pm to conclude the tourney.

The game marks Bates' first time over the 100-point mark since netting 100 on Dec. 8, 2002, against Mount Ida. 

The Bobcats also held the Moose to 24.6 percent shooting from the field, including 17.6% from behind the 3-point line, and forced 27 turnovers while committing nine.

Boornazian (Portland, Conn.) led off the scoring with a 3-pointer from the wing, set up by senior Luke Matarazzo (Shelton, Conn.), and Safford made it 6-0 with a three of his own, assisted by 6-foot-7 first-year forward Marcus Delpeche (Wilmington, Del.). 

Following a Boornazian layup, Delpeche made it 10-0 while giving the crowd of over 400 in the gym a taste of the above-the-rim action that may be on the menu this season for Bates. Off a missed three by Boornazian, Delpeche skied for the rebound and a one-handed, rim-rattling flush. Marcus Delpeche finished the game with eight points and a team-high eight rebounds, while his 6-8 twin brother Malcolm Delpeche added four points and three boards off the bench.

Marcus Delpeche scored a pair of free throws to increase the lead to 14-0 before the Moose got on the scoreboard with 16:12 left in the half, a layup by Smith.

Bates remained in showtime mode, increasing the lead to 40-4 on a three by Matarazzo with 7:46 to go in the half. Then with 3:25 to go, junior Billy Selmon (Atlanta, Ga.) poked the ball away from UMA's Zjateek Conyers over to senior Derek Murphy (Lowell, Mass.). Murphy tossed a lead pass ahead of Selmon, and Selmon was able to measure his steps, take off from about 12 feet away from the rim and hang in the air for a majestic dunk, the first of his college career. The bucket itself was fairly inconsequential, putting Bates ahead 55-12, but Selmon's breathtaking slam drew a huge cheer from the home crowd.

A three from the corner by Eaton made it 62-14 before the end of the half.

Bates sophomore forward Mike Newton (Chapel Hill, N.C.) had a productive all-around game, with a game- and career-high six steals as well as four assists and seven points in 12 minutes. Murphy handed out a game-best five assists. Boornazian and senior Sean Cunningham (Amherst, Mass.) grabbed seven and six rebounds, respectively, helping Bates to a 58-45 advantage on the glass.
