Mitch Fossier Nets Goal in Loss
First night of the Border Battle saw the Black Bears travel to Durham, New Hampshire to take on the University of New Hampshire Wildcats.
The 1st period for Maine started with a back and forth affair that saw Mitch Fossier net his 7th goal of the year at the 13:08 mark. Marcus Vela took a roughing penalty that saw the Black Bears make quick work of the man advantage as Eric Schurhamer and Pat Holway found Fossier, who funneled a puck to the front of the net, and off a Wildcat skate to give the Black Bears a 1-0 lead. Rob McGovern made 8 stops in the frame to help preserve the lead.
The 2nd period saw the Black Bears find some penalty trouble that proved costly. At the 6:23 mark of the period, the Wildcats connected on their first powerplay goal. UNH senior Tyler Kelleher took a feed from Matias Cleland where he rifled a puck off a stick in front and passed McGovern, knotting the score at 1 apiece. At the 14:54 mark, Kelleher struck again on the powerplay, beating a Maine defenseman wide to the outside and then driving the far post, eluding a McGovern poke check and sliding the puck in, making the score 2-1 UNH Goaltender Daniel Tirone was perfect in the frame stopping all 8 Maine shots.
The 3rd period was all UNH as the Wildcats scored 3 unanswered goals en route to their 5-1 win. Brendan van Riemsdyk scored early in the frame to make it 3-1. Jason Salvaggio then was able to slam home a puck at the 14:18 mark to give UNH a 4-1 lead, and in turn chasing Rob McGovern from the net. Matt Morris came on in relief, making 2 saves on 3 shots, as a Cameron Marks seeing eye shot found its way over the shoulder of Morris. Daniel Tirone made 23 saves on 24 shots to cap off the UNH victory.
The Black Bears return home tomorrow night, as they finish the weekend Border Battle with UNH at Alfond Arena. Limited tickets are available and can be purchased by calling 207-581-BEAR, or by visiting goblackbears.com
