1957: Boston University sported a surprise in sophomore goalie Bill Tansey. His excellent work in goal coupled with the scoring of sophomores Bob Marquis and Dave MacLeod paved the Terriers’ way to an impressive 6-3 win over favored Harvard. The Crimson controlled the first period, leading 2-0 on goals by Lyle Guttu and Bob Higgenbottom. For the period Tansey turned aside 15 Harvard shots while Crimson goalie Don Cleary faced only 5 and saved them all.

However, the Terriers dominated the rest of the game. Marquis scored the first BU goal at 7:12 of the second. Tony Cicoria tied the game at 2-all on an unassisted effort at 13:27 followed closely by Dave MacLeod’s go-ahead goal giving BU the lead, 3-2. Harvard’s Bob Cleary evened the score for less than a minute late in the second before Marquis and Sarge Kinlin scored only seconds apart to put the Terriers ahead for good. Dave MacLeod closed out the scoring potting his second goal of the evening with just seconds remaining in the game.
