Putting together one of its most complete efforts of the season,
BU took an early 2-0 lead against Maine and never looked back, routing the
Black Bears, 6-1, at Agganis Arena. Senior assistant captain Matt Lane and
freshman Bobo Carpenter each scored twice, with junior Doyle Somerby and senior
Danny O’Regan getting the other two goals.
Passes from Oskar Andrén and Robbie Baillargeon sent Carpenter in
alone on Maine goalie Rob McGovern. Carpenter beat the Maine goalie glove side
for a lead five minutes into the game. Somerby scored the eventual game-winner
31 seconds later on a wrap-around.
Carpenter scored his
second of the game—and seventh of the season— following a terrific entry pass from freshman Charlie McAvoy, who also dealt out several heavy checks. Then, Lane cashed in a pass from
senior Ahti Oksanen to increase the lead to 4-0 before Cam Brown beat Sean
Maguire from the high slot to end the netminder’s shutout bid. O’Regan
converted the rebound of a Somerby shot late in the second period to stretch the lead to 5-1.
Lane’s second goal early in the final period to close the scoring was his 13th,
tying him with Oksanen for the team lead.
BU outshot Maine 36-23. Maguire was tested less often than on
Friday, but was sharp none-the-less, making 22 saves.
“We were skating; we were pressuring the puck; there was an urgency to our game. One of the things that we’re trying to do is make teams earn ice, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that this weekend”
Lane added:
"We need sweeps, and we need to string together some wins. We know what we’re capable of as a team, and in a sense we didn’t feel we were meeting our standards. This is maybe the first weekend where we’ve played six good periods from start to finish.”
