ORONO, Me. - The #13 University of Maine men's hockey team took down #1 Boston College Eagles, 4-2, on Friday night in front of a sold-out crowd of 5,043 at Alfond Arena.
The Black Bears 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.
