\n<\/div>\nThe freshman forward scored the game-winning goal with five seconds left as Maine (16-7-6, 8-7-4 Hockey East) posted a 2-1 win over Boston University (12-16-4, 6-12-2) on Sunday afternoon in Hockey East play.<\/p>\n
Maine’s win accompanied with Connecticut’s 6-0 loss at No. 1 New Hampshire gave the Black Bears a two-point advantage for the last playoff spot heading into their last weekend of the season against Boston College.<\/p>\n
In the late stages of the third period, the Terriers came close to garnering another third period win similar to Saturday’s game. But then with five seconds left, Sonia Corriveau fed a pass from the corner to find Gagnon in front of net.<\/p>\n
“The shot came in from the blue line and the puck hit Sonia,” Gagnon said. “I did not know there was five seconds left and I just tried to put the shot on net because that is what [coach] asks of us.”<\/p>\n
“You really cannot counter something like that because it was their reward for the weekend,” said BU coach Brian Durocher. “Today it looked like a game that was going to head to overtime, but they got their break.”<\/p>\n
Maine’s first goal came 7:33 into the opening frame as defenseman Kelly Law scored to give the Black Bears the 1-0 lead. The goal placed her in a tie for second in the program’s history for most points in a season scored by a defenseman<\/p>\n
But with just under three minutes to go in the second period, BU’s Genevieve Lang played a pass to Nicky Wiart for a short-handed goal to the game 1-1.<\/p>\n
The Terriers piled pressure on Maine in the final minutes. With about 3:30 left, Gina Kearns dangerously deflected a shot from the point on net, and BU also drew a penalty with 2:44 to go.<\/p>\n
“I thought we played with adversity today but you have to give credit to BU,” Perron said. “It was a heartbreaker for them and a good win for us.”<\/p>\n
BU has just one game left in its inaugural season, and it’s not going to be an easy one. But the Terriers will hope to go out on top. <\/p>\n
“Our next game is against UNH so we are going to have a little fir under our sleeves,” Wilcox said. “But that is a good thing and hopefully we can play a good game against them.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
