ORONO, Maine – Behind a three-point night from Justin Poirier and a 28-save shutout from Albin Boyathe #15/18 University of Maine men’s ice hockey team topped Lindenwood, 5-0, on Saturday night at a sold-out Alfond Arena.
Charlie Russell opened the scoring for Maine 4:16 into the contest and then Sully Scholle made it 2-0 less than three minutes later.
