ORONO, Maine – The No. 15/17 Northeastern Huskies claimed a 4-1 victory, led by two goals from
Aidan McDonough, over the Maine Black Bears in route to a weekend split at the Harold Alfond Sports Arena.
- For the second night in a row, the Huskies and Black Bears went scoreless through the opening 20 minutes of the game. Northeastern controlled momentum, outshooting Maine 27-20.
- Only 58 seconds apart, captain Aidan McDonough gave the Huskies a 2-0 lead in the first three minutes of the second period. His first of the night was well crafted by linemates Sam Colangelo and Justin Hryckowian as he bested Maine's goaltender.
- At the 3:19 marker, McDonough extended Northeastern's advantage to 2-0 with a power-play goal, assisted by Gunnarwolfe Fontaine and Jack Hughes. With his assist, Fontaine has now recorded nine points in the last seven games.
- Before the middle frame closed, Matt Choupani added one more for Northeastern, assisted by Cam Lund and Hunter McDonald, on a quick bury from out front.

- Devon Levi finished with a great night in net, making 35 saves and stopping all four power-play attempts from Maine.
