PROVIDENCE — Providence College was defeated by the University of Maine, 3-0, last night at Schneider Arena.
The Black Bears scored two shorthanded goals and never looked back as they swept the weekend series against the Friars.
The Black Bears (6-3-0, 3-2-0 Hockey East) took a 1-0 lead at 7:37 of the second period when Tanner House scored a shorthanded goal.
The Friars (2-7-1, 0-6-1 Hockey East) had a flurry near the end of the second period but were unable to score. Matt Germain hit the post and Matt Taomina fired a shot from the slot that was stopped by Maine goalie Scott Darling.
At 4:09 of the third period, Gustav Nyquist scored while Maine was shorthanded, giving the Black Bears a 2-0 lead. Nyquist stole the puck in the neutral zone, skated in on a two-on-one break and ripped a high shot past PC goalie Justin Gates. Nyquist capped the scoring with his second goal of the game, at 18:42.
Darling finished with 24 saves while Gates recorded a career-high 33 stops.
The Friars return to action on Friday night, when they visit the UMass-Lowell River Hawks.
