31 December

1994: Boston University won the Mariucci Classic defeating host Minnesota, 4-3, in overtime. Minnesota came out and controlled the first period, but did not get onto the scoreboard until Matt Wright put the puck in the BU net at 9:11. The Gophers scored on the powerplay just under three minutes later to go up 2-0. The Terriers had a great shorthanded opportunity a few minutes later, but did not score. Finally, Jay Pandolfo got one past Gopher Goalie Callinan at 16:56 of the first on the powerplay.

After a scoreless second period the Terriers tied the game at 2-all when Ken Rausch scored at 7:40 of the third. Just 83 second later BU took the lead on a goal by Chris O’Sullivan. However, the Gophers’ Brian Bonin tied the game at 3-all on a shorthanded goal at 14:46. In overtime Ken Rausch scored his second goal of the game and third of the tournament when the Terriers had a three-on-one and Rausch passed to Chris Drury as they entered the zone and Drury passed it back to Rausch, who tipped it into the net past Callinan for the game-winner.
