As it turned out, the University of Maine men’s hockey team needed only a tie in one of its last three games, all against Boston College, to sew up fifth place and earn a first-round bye in the Hockey East playoffs. But the league regular-season champion Eagles completed a sweep of the three-game set spanning the last two weekends on Saturday night as they beat the Black Bears 2-1 at Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Mass. UMaine wound up tied with Connecticut for fifth place, but the Huskies won the second tie-breaker, collecting more league wins (11-10).
