After a season where the University of Maine women’s basketball team recorded their worst record in program history, two Black Bears have decided to leave the program and transfer schools.

Sophomore guard Katelyn Vanderhoff and freshman forward Jaymie Druding each filed for transfer and were granted a release by Black Bears Head Coach Cindy Blodgett.

“I’d like to thank both Katelyn and Jaymie for their contributions to our program and wish both of them success in all of their future endeavors,” Blodgett said in a press release.

During her time here, Vanderhoff started 41 of 51 games, and averaged 8.4 points per game, 5.4 rebounds per game and just under 3 assists per contest.

“I’d like to thank UMaine and Coach Blodgett for giving me the opportunity to play two years here,” Vanderhoff said in the release. “I wish the best of luck to my former teammates and wish luck to the program,”

Druding appeared in 18 games, starting five of them. In limited minutes, the freshman averaged 2.3 points per game and 2.1 rebounds per game.

“I appreciate every opportunity I’ve been given here at the University of Maine and being able to play at this university,” Druding said in the release. “It’s a better situation for me to move somewhere closer to home and closer to my support system at this time.”

The Black Bears look to turn around a program that finished 4-25 this past season.
