The Eagles (7-4-1, 5-2 Hockey East) took a 2-0 lead in the first period on power-play goals by Dean Letourneau and James Hagen. Landan Resendes made it 3-0 on a breakaway in the second before Owen Fowler got Maine (7-5-1, 4-3) on the board with just over seven minute left in the period.
The Black Bears, who have lost two straight, pulled within a goal twice in the third on goals by Charlie Russell and Justin Poirer, but Hagen got his second goal, Ryan Commy scored twice, and Teddy Stiga added a goal as Boston College pulled away.
