A win for Maine hockey

Maine picked up a 4-2 win over RPI in its annual Portland game at the Cumberland County Civic Center on Sunday.

The win followed a tough 7-3 loss to Northeastern on Friday night.

Maine got goals from Lem Randall, Wes Clark, Jeff Marshall and Billy Ryan.
Defensively, the Black Bears kept the Engineers at bay well, allowing almost no odd man rushes and just 20 shots.

"We really wanted to come out stronger, play 60 minutes and stick to our game plan," said Clark, who centered Maine's top line. "We really shut them down pretty good today."

Maine has two upcoming weekend's on tap with just one game due to a quirk in the schedule.

Maine hosts Boston University next Saturday Jan. 12 and travels to Providence College Jan. 19.

Jenn covers the University of Maine for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram.

A former Portland Pirates beat writer who has covered two winter Olympics for the paper, she will tackle the Maine beat for a fourth year this season.

She has the empty coffee cups, and turnpike mileage receipts littering her
excellent-gas-mileage
Honda Civic to prove it.


Though she is a graduate of rival New Hampshire, she almost never thinks of that 1999 hockey game anymore.
