11 December

1937: Boston University defeated Princeton in dramatic fashion, winning 5-4 in overtime at Hobey Baker Rink. It was the Terriers’ first victory against the Tigers since the two teams first met on 21 December 1923, a span of 11 games over 14 years. BU’s top line of Captain Gerry Desrosiers, Al Carvelli and Albert Woodward--which led the nation in goals with 61 in 15 games-- provided all the scoring. The speedy right wing Desrosiers had a goal and 2 assists, while right wing Woodward had 2 goals and 1 assist, as did center Carvelli, who also got the game winner in the 10-minute regulation overtime period. In the Terrier net Robert Colburn was spectacular, making 40 saves to win the game for BU.
