The Boston College men’s hockey team kept things closer tonight and Mitch Benson played a solid game in net, but the Eagles continued to struggle to score even strength goals against Maine and lost to the Black Bears by a score of 2-1.
Benson had a strong first period, but BC spent much of it on the penalty kill which made things difficult for him and allowed Maine to score a power play goal with 4:10 to go in the first to take a 1-0 lead. Maine took that 1-0 lead into the first intermission, while BC had just 6 shots on goal on throughout the first 20 minutes.
