Any free links to this game?

Not only haven't I found any, but I see that the not-for-free video feed is per-game, so they're charging the women's and men's games separately (as opposed to one of those 24-hour ones).

On the bright side, nice article about UVM's Luke Apfeld having ceded his starting spot to Clancy Rugg:
Apfeld: OK being swept under Rugg
Captain a bench catalyst after injury

Luke Apfeld missed five games because of a sprained ankle.

There was no bruised ego, however, when it resulted in him losing his starting spot on the University of Vermont men’s basketball team.

UVM’s junior captain will come off the bench for the foreseeable future and play behind junior forward Clancy Rugg, whose game soared to greater heights when he became a starter in Apfeld’s absence. Rugg averaged 17.5 points in the five games the Catamounts were without Apfeld.
...
UVM coach John Becker said he met with Apfeld prior to his return to the lineup and explained he was keeping Rugg in the starting lineup.

“Luke just took that in stride,” Becker said. “He knows he’s going to play a lot of minutes and knows he’s going to be in at the end of the game. He’s a selfless guy; this is a selfless team.”

Just did some looking and this years UVM team is the worst offensive team they've had in the past 10+ years. Only season that is really comparable is the year after Coppenrath and Sorrentine graduated, and that team averaged 3 more points per game than this one. Goes to show how much defense can matter. I think the lack of a guy to create shots for themselves when the team really needs is the only thing holding this team back from being special.

34-19 UVM at the half. Couple of Neller 3s late keeping it respectable.

Blue 11, Rugg 10, Apfeld 9. Voelkel with 9 boards and 4 assists at the half.

Team is doing everything right- defense, shooting 46%, 38% from 3, 70% from FT, 11 assists, 21-12 rebounding edge. 8 turnovers could be better, but all in all not bad half.
