Another great game at the Alfond Arena tonight--Maine came from behind to earn a tie and take 3 of 4 possible points on the weekend. I really liked the Black Bear team defense, much improved from the beginning of the season and still improving! Forwards did a great job backchecking and tying up the Wildcats through the neutral zone. Kudos to the game's first star Michael Ayers on his return from last night's laceration and keeping the Black Bears at bay in the last minutes--including the save on the faceoff SOG with one second left in the game. I'm also very impressed at the grit, determination and intensity displayed by the Black Bears throughout the weekend. Keep up the good work! M-A-I-N-E...Goooooooooo Blue! ~Lexy '98 P.S. -- I don't know about anybody else, but I could have done without the local news' close-up on Ayers' gushing gash during the dinnertime report! ;) -- A Portal as Big as Texas!
