ORONO — Jordan Samuels-Thomas, who sat out last season after transferring from Bowling Green, scored with 86 seconds left to give Quinnipiac a 2-1 men’s hockey victory over the University of Maine in the season opener for both teams.
Maine had taken a 1-0 lead in the game’s fifth minute when brothers Jon and Steven Swavely teamed up. Jon, a junior, won a face-off, and Steven, a freshman, scored from between the circles.
Quinnipiac tied it early in the second period. Although Maine held a 32-18 advantage in shots on goal, the Black Bears were 0-for-5 on the power play and couldn’t put another puck past Quinnipiac goalie Eric Hartzell, who finished with 31 saves.
