I have five official stops on my itinerary, but want to do as much as I can to see other schools as well, as long as I made the trip all the way out here. My official schedule has me in Brunswick, Maine, to see Bowdoin host Middlebury in a doubleheader.

Earlier in the afternoon, however, I dropped in on University of New England women’s basketball coach Anthony Ewing, who didn’t have much forewarning I might be stopping by. On Thursday, I did a short drive-by at Tufts to see their renovated gym and met Bob Sheldon and said hello to Carla Berube, but didn’t put either of them on video, knowing I’d see them again.

Biddeford, which was just a 15-minute detour off the interstate, was on my way from Boston to Bowdoin. They have a brand-new facility, including a 900-seat ice hockey arena and a 1,200-seat basketball arena. And UNE is 16-4 in women’s basketball. And they were on my radar because Sports Information Director Curt Smyth sent me a link to a feature story in the Portland newspaper. And I’ll let Ewing tell you the rest:
