WABI talks with Vachon, Ralph about new basketball floor

WABI (Channel 5) talked with University of Maine women’s basketball coach Amy Vachon and athletic director Ken Ralph about the new basketball floor in Memorial Gymnasium, aka “The Pit.” The refinished floor resembles the floor at Cross Insurance Center, where the men’s and women’s hoop teams play most of their home games. Vachon said the upgraded floor — which now has men’s three-point lines and Black Bear and America East logos — looks great. Ralph said it provides a much better, much safer environment for student-athletes.
