ORONO, Maine – Behind four different goal scorers and a 22-shutout from Albin Boija, the #6/8 University of Maine men's ice hockey team topped Holy Cross, 6-0, on Saturday night in front of a sold-out Alfond Arena.
 
Jaden Lipinski staked Maine to a 1-0 lead 5:09 into the first period and then Josh Nadeau scored 5:09 into the second period. Nadeau struck again six minutes later to put Maine up 3-0 heading into the third.
 
The Black Bears added three goals in the third period. Thomas Freel scored on the power-play, Miguel Marques scored at even-strength and then Oskar Komarov potted a short-handed goal with just over one minute to play.
