ORONO, Maine – The #13 University of Maine men's hockey team took down #1 Boston College, 4-2, on Friday night in front of a sold-out crowd of 5,043 at Alfond Arena.
Â
Maine got on the board first thanks to captain
Lynden Breen only to see the Eagles respond 90 seconds later. Early in the third period, it was
Donavan Villeneuve-Houle that put the Black Bears up 2-1. Exactly a minute later,
Bradly Nadeau finished a feed from Breen for a two-goal lead. The Eagles would pull within one but a
Grayson Arnott blocked shot and empty-net goal sealed Maine's second-ever win over a #1 ranked team at Alfond Arena.
