Two more University of Maine men’s basketball players have decided to transfer this week, bringing the total to four since the end of the 2013-2014 campaign and seven in all in the last two seasons.

Junior guard Xavier Pollard announced his intent to transfer on Tuesday and sophomore guard Shaun Lawton did the same on Thursday.

“After meeting with Xavier today, we agreed it would be in his best interest to look at transferring at this time,” UMaine head coach Ted Woodward said in a press release Tuesday. “We wish him the best of luck in his future academic and athletic endeavors.”

Pollard and Lawton join Dimitry Akanda-Coronel, another one of the team’s top scorers this past season, and freshman walk-on Mitchell Worcester among the recent Black Bears transferees.

Alasdair Fraser, Justin Edwards and Jon Mesghna departed after the 2012-2013 season.

If the players leave for another Division I school they’ll have to sit out a year due to NCAA guidelines. Players who transfer to Division II or III programs can play right away as long as their academics are in order.

Pollard was an All-America East third team-er this season, leading the team in points per game at 14.7. He also led the team in minutes played at 32 per game and was second in rebounds per game with 4.4. Pollard was also second in assists and steals at 3.8 and 1.8, respectively.

Pollard has been a solid contributor to the team over the past couple years. He averaged 9.7 points per game on 40 percent shooting from the field during his sophomore season.

Lawton led the Black Bears in assists per game at 4.2 and was fourth in scoring with 8.1 points per game. He and Pollard also led the conference in steals with 2 and 1.8, respectively.

Lawton saw action in 25 games as a freshman and shot 44 percent from the floor and and 62 percent on his free throws.

The Black Bears are coming off a 6-23 season, the fewest wins for the program since the 1956-57 season. The Black Bears lost their first-round playoff game for the ninth straight season.
