Notre Dame sends Maine to third straight loss
- Updated: February 13, 2016
Third-period goals 1:29 apart by Jack Jenkins and Mario Lucia snapped a 1-1 tie and gave the University of Notre Dame a 4-1 Hockey East win over the University of Maine Friday night at the Compton Family Ice Arena in South Bend, Indiana.
Notre Dame has won seven of its last eight games and improved to 17-5-7 overall, 13-2-2 in Hockey East. Maine lost its third in a row and fell to 7-18-6 and 4-11-2, respectively.
Notre Dame is 12-1-3 over its last 16 games. Maine is 2-7-2 in its last 11 games.
It is the 16th time Maine has scored either one goal or been shut out.
Cal Petersen finished with 21 saves while Matt Morris turned aside 39 shots.
“We played well the first 10 minutes of the third period. We were doing more offensively than we had earlier. Then we were whistled for a penalty and took another one right on top of that one,” said Maine coach Red Gendron. “We defended pretty well for most of the game and Matt Morris played very well.”
Notre Dame is in a first-place tie with Boston College.
The teams will conclude their series at 7:05 p.m. Saturday.
