BOSTON, Massachusetts -- The University of Maine men's ice hockey team was defeated by #9 Northeastern, 2-1, in the second game of the Hockey East Quarterfinals.
 
First Goal (Northeastern 1-0): Maine lost control of the puck behind their net. Patrick Schule picked up the loose puck and fired a pass to Biagio Lerario, who buried the first goal of the Quarterfinal contest. Originally ruled 'no goal' on the ice, after a very lengthy review, the call was overturned. #9 Northeastern led 1-0 after the first 20 minutes.
 
Second Goal (Northeastern 2-0): On a 5-on-3 advantage in the opening minutes of the second period, Brandon Hawkins wristed a shot from the top of the near face-off circle. The goal came from a Liam Pecararo pass.
 
Third Goal (Northeastern 2-1): Jacob Schmidt-Svejstrup scored Maine's first goal on a 5-on-3 advantage with 11:18 to go in the second period. Sam Becker fed Schmidt-Svejstrup a perfect pass that the freshman was able to one-time past the Northeastern goaltender. Maine trailed by one early in the period.
 
That was the only tally of the night for the Black Bears. In the final five minutes, Maine had a 5-on-4 and 6-on-5 advantage but were unable to find the game tying goal. With double elimination in effect, the season ends for the University of Maine.
 
Notes:

• Jeremy Swayman finished with 15 saves on the night, while Cayden Primeau tallied 33.
• The Black Bears went 1-7 on the power play, as they only allowed one goal on the Huskies' seven chances.
• Maine blocked 13 total shots during the Quarterfinal contest.
