1999: Boston University upset Boston College, 3-2, in overtime in the opening round of the Beanpot. The game actually ended at 12:15 AM on 2 February as for only the third time in the history of the Beanpot both opening games went to overtime.

The Terriers opened the scoring at 5:09 of the first period when Juha Vuori finished off a setup from Jack Baker. The Eagles tied the game at 11:35 when Jeff Farkas handled a great pass from Mike Mottau and redirected it past Terrier goalie Michel Larocque. BU quickly regained the lead at 1:19 of the second when Carl Corazzini took a pass from a falling Dan Cavanaugh, went around Bobby Allen, and shot it into the net for the score. BC retied the game four minutes and ten seconds later when Farkas scored again when he skated in on net, picked up a Chris Masters rebound and deposited it in the goal.

The Eagle’s appeared to have scored later in the second to take a 3-2 lead when the puck went into the net off Masters’ skate. However, referee Tim Benedetto went upstairs to video official Jim Villandry, and after reviewing the play the goal was waved off. The Eagles were not able to get the puck past Larocque again, nor were the Terriers able to get another one past Scott Clemmensen, so after 60 minutes the game remained tied. In overtime BU won it at 5:10 when Tommi Degerman made a great pass up ice to Chris Heron, who then made a pretty pass to Russ Bartlett, who shot the puck into the net as he was diving forward.

1992: Boston University tied Maine, 4-4, at Orono. The Terriers had lost nine straight at Alfond Arena and Maine was 25-0-1 since a loss to Lowell on 7 December 1990. BU started Scott Cashman in net, but he was shelled for 4 goals on 15 shots in the first period and was relieved by J.P. McKersie at the start of the second. McKersie blanked the Black Bears the rest of the way, making 18 saves to earn the tie, including big ones on Scott Pellerin, who tried a shot between his legs, and Jim Montgomery.

Maine came out flying and pressured BU from the start. The Black Bears scored on the powerplay at 7:11 when Pellerin netted his 21st goal of the season. Kent Salfi then took over and scored at 11:19, with an assist to Montgomery, and again at 16:42, this time unassisted. Brian Downey scored shorthanded with 35 seconds remaining in the period to give Maine a 4-0 lead after one period.

It look like the rout was on, but the Terriers played much better in the second and at 8:44 Jon Jenkins scored BU’s first goal of the game. Then with 16 seconds left in the period Kevin O’Sullivan tucked the puck past Garth Snow to make it a two goal game. The Terriers came out flying in the third and at 2:05 Petteri Koskimaki scored his 15th of the season to close it to one. Just two minutes and twenty seconds later David Sacco tied it up, 4-4. Rich Brennan put the puck on net and Snow made the save, but Doug Friedman took the rebound and shot it off the post and as the puck slide near the line Sacco knocked it in. Both teams then settled down and neither goalie allowed he puck to get by them for the remaining 20 minutes and 35 seconds.

2009: Boston University defeated Merrimack, 3-1, in front of 2,681 fans at J. Thom Lawler Arena for the program’s 1350th win and Head Coach Jack Parker’s 800th win. It was the fourth game in the last five to be played against Merrimack on this date since 1998 (all wins). The win was the 19th of the season, only the second time the team has won 19 games before 1 February (1983-84 was the other).

The Terriers scored twice 72 seconds apart late in the first period to take control of the game. Matt Gilroy scored first at 16:22 and Brandon Yip then scored on the powerplay. After a scoreless second period Merrimack drew to within once when Rob Ricci beat Kieran Millan at 4:26 of the third, but that was as close as the Warriors would get. The Terriers put the game away just 3:03 later when Colby Cohen scored on the powerplay and Millan shut the door the rest of the way. Millan made 25 saves for the win while Andrew Braithwaite made 24 in a losing effort.

Women

2009: The Boston University women’s team team defeated Vermont, 3-2, in front of 203 fans at Walter Brown Arena for the program’s and Head Coach Brian Durocher’s 58th win.

The Terriers opened the scoring when Jillian Kirchner beat Catamount goalie Kristen Olychuck on the powerplay at 10:24 of the first period. Gina Kearns deked Olychuck, who went down sideways, and passed the puck to Kirchner who put the puck into the open net. Vermont’s Molly Morrison tied the game at 16:59 of the period when she scored on a 5x4 powerplay just 2 seconds after a 5x3 ended.

In the second period Jonnie Bloemers took nice pass from Laurel Koller behind the net and beat Olychuck at 2:41. The Catamounts tied it up again less than 2 minutes later when Brittany Nelson scored on the powerplay at 4:23. Despite numerous chances for both teams the game remained tied until a streaking Kearns took a perfect pass at the Vermont blueline from Tara Watchorn, broke in alone on Olychuck and cleanly beat her for the winning goal. Allyse Wilcox made 25 saves to earn the win while Olychuck made 22 saves in the loss.

With the goal and assist Kearns brings her career totals to 47 goals and 96 points as she moves closer to becoming the first 50 goal and 100 point player in the program's history.

1930: Boston University tied New Hampshire, 2-2, on UNH’s outdoor rink at Durham. There was no overtime as BU had to catch the train back to Boston. Defenseman Bob Elliot and left winger Richard Lombard scored for the Terriers and goalie Burton Grodberg earned the tie.

28 January

1983: Boston University defeated Clarkson, the top team in the East, 6-3, at Walter Brown Arena before a SRO crowd of 3,545. BU improved to 9-9 overall and 7-7 in ECAC play, while Clarkson fell to 12-3-1 overall and 8-2-1 in the ECAC. Terrier goalie Cleon Daskalakis made 44 saves, many of the sensational variety.

The Terriers opened the scoring at 11:08 of the first when Dale Dunbar got his first goal of the season on a shot from the left point. Kevin Mutch and Cesare Carlacci assisted on the goal. The Golden Knights tied it up at 14:12 when Bob Armstrong scored a powerplay goal from the right faceoff circle. Clarkson had 17 shots in the period to 9 for BU.

In the second BU took control, as they scored four goals for a 5-1 lead after two. Paul Gerlitz put BU ahead for good at 2:42 when Brad MacGregor stole the puck and made a nice pass to Gerlitz, who put it past the Knight’s freshman goalie Jim Falle from eight feet out. Tom O’Regan scored from the middle of the right faceoff circle on the powerplay at 5:23. At 11:09 Peter Marshall put a 40-footer into the far corner of the net from the left lane on a pass he received from Mutch and Daskalakis. That was it for Falle, as Clarkson coach Bill O”Flaherty replaced him with Don Sylvestri. It didn’t matter, as Gerlitz scored his second of the game at 18:01 when he banged in a rebound of a Marshall shot.

The Golden Knights finally put everything together and dominated the Terriers in the third. At 4:52 Clarkson made it pay off when Andy Otto scored at 4:52 from the right point to make it 5-2. Then Pat Haramis scored on the powerplay at 10:04 to make it 5-3, as the Knights continued to attack. The Terriers got their wind back with 8:10 to play, after having be outshot 10-1 to that point in the period. Clarkson was unable to score again and MacGregor scored an empty net goal after the Knights Sylvestri was pulled for an extra skater.

27 January

1990: Boston University defeated New Hampshire, 4-2, at Walter Brown Arena in the 1500th game of the program’s history in front of 3,405 fans. Ed Ronan opened the scoring at 12:43 of the first when he took a pass from David Tomlinson and put the puck past Wildcat goalie Pat Morrison. Just over 5 minutes later Mike Sullivan scored unassisted on the powerplay to give the Terriers a 2-0 lead. Tomlinson made it 3-0 just 60 seconds into the second period. David MacIntyre scored on the powerplay at 16:40 of the second to put UNH on the board. In the third, Savo Mitrovic made it a one-goal game when he scored at 7:46. That was as close as the Wildcats would get as Shawn McEachern scored at 15:17 to seal the win for the Terriers. Scott Cashman made 35 saves for the win while Morrison made 42 saves in a losing effort.

26 January

1923: Boston University lost to Boston College, 3-2, in triple overtime at Boston Arena. It was a clean game from the start and shortly it was evident that the team from the Heights was overconfident. Overconfidence became surprise when Morey Kontoff, one of the Terriers brightest stars, went the length of ice and scored. Late in the third it looked like the Eagles would lose when Leo Hughes started a mad scramble in front of the BU net. With sticks flying all around the crease the puck ended up in the net. The Terriers protested that Hughs kicked the puck in to avail, so the goal stood.

With the game tied 1-1 at the end of regulation the teams agreed to play two 5-minutes overtime periods and if the game was still tied a sudden death period. The Terriers took a 2-1 lead in the first overtime period when Joe Almer, showing some of the clever ragging he had shown all night, went down and scored one of the prettiest goals seen in the Arena. In the second overtime period BC tied the game up again when Edmund Garrity flipped in a shot that caught Terriers netminder Joe Beauchemin off guard. The sudden death period was a wonder, considering the fatigued condition of the players. The Eagles showed as much gameness as the Terriers and found the first opening when Len Morrissey scored the winning goal 14 minutes into the period.

25 January

1977: Boston University defeated RPI, 6-5, in overtime at Walter Brown Arena. Rick Meagher had a hat trick, along with 2 assists for a 5-point game. Matt Marden scored 2 goals while Bob Dudley scored one. In net Jim Craig made 36 saves for the win.

24 January

2004: Boston University defeated Maine, 1-0, at Walter Brown Arena. Sean Fields made 28 saves to record his seventh career shutout, outplaying Maine’s Jimmy Howard. Both teams had chances in the first period, but were unable to convert. Early in the second Fields made two point-blank saves on shots by John Ronan and Travis Wight. On the powerplay Bryan Miller scored the lone goal of the game at 12:10 of the second when he one-timed a shot from the point. With time running down in the third the Black Bears pulled Howard, but were unable to score as Fields stopped the assault. Then, with BU in control tempers flared and with 0.3 seconds remaining in the game the players got into a free-for-all. It took seven minutes to restore order and hand out the penalties, 35 for 246 minutes. For the game the teams combined for an NCAA record 46 penalties and 268 penalty minutes.

23 January

1926: Boston University defeated Cornell, 1-0, on Beebe Lake at Ithaca. The two teams would not meet again for over forty years, when Cornell defeated BU, 8-1, in the ECAC semifinals at Boston Arena on 11 March 1966.

Ovila Gregoire scored the goal for the Terriers and goaltender Don Martin got the shutout. It was the last win Martin would get as a Terrier, as he played only one more game for BU, a loss, before being replaced in net by Sydney Silberberg.

22 January

1972: Boston University defeated Vermont, 7-2, at Walter Brown Arena in front of 3,466 fans in the first meeting between the two programs. The Terriers struck quickly, when Ron Anderson beat UVM’s Steve Eckerson just 1:11 into the first period. The Catamounts made a game of it and, at 13:59, Brad Cooke beat the Terriers’ Dan Brady to even the score at 1-all. BU retook the lead for good when Bob Gryp scored 81 seconds later and then Anderson scored on the powerplay 1:28 after that to increase the lead to 3-1.

Vermont drew to within one goal when Willie MacKinnon scored at 4:57 of the second period, but that was as close as they would get. The Catamounts held off the Terriers until 12:25 of the period when Mike LaGarde made to 4-2. In the third BU took control as Bob Brown scored at 1:06, Ric Jordon scored at 8:57 and David Wisener scored at 16:58. Brady made 23 saves for the Terriers while Eckerson made 32 for the Catamounts.

21 January

1989: Boston University shutout second ranked Minnesota, 1-0, in front of 2,853 fans at Walter Brown Arena. It was the first time the Gophers had been shutout since 14 March 1986, a span of 80 games. It was a defensive game from start to finish, with great forechecking and backchecking by both teams. BU goalie Peter Fish made 17 saves to get the shutout, outplaying Robb Stauber, who was making his first start in seven weeks. The only goal of the game came at 10:45 of the second period when Chris Lappin scored the first goal of his Terrier career. Stauber made saves on shots by Shawn McEachern and Mike Sullivan before Lappin, who moved in when he saw a delayed penalty was being called on Minnesota, picked up the second rebound from just outside the crease and put it in the net.

20 January

1990: Boston University tied Providence, 1-1, before 3,219 stunned fans at Walter Brown Arena on a Saturday afternoon. The Terriers scored the game-winning goal with 29 seconds remaining in overtime and the teams were starting to leave the ice when referee Rich Fowkes disallowed the goal and gave a penalty to Tony Amonte for playing without a helmet, after being told of the offense by linesman Bob Fowkes.

The game was a close affair, with strong two-way checking by both teams that resulted in just 5 shots on net for each team in the first. Midway through the period Providence had 2 shots on goal and BU had only one, a harmless shot from the neutral zone during a powerplay. Matt Merton, the Friars goalie, had to be sharp with six minute to play in the period when he raced to the left faceoff circle to beat Amonte to a loose puck, thereby preventing a clean break-in. With two minutes to play Merton stopped the Terriers’ best chance of the period, a turnaround backhander by Rob Regan.

The second period picked up where the first had ended, although the shot total was higher, 10 for PC and 8 for BU, as the goalies continued to stop everything sent their way, especially BU goalie Scott Cashman, who was superb. During a 10-second span early in the period he flicked out his left skate to stop a Lyle Wildgoose deflection and then smothered Mario Aube’s slapper. Midway through the period he robbed Rick Bennett from 15 feet. Then, late in the period, the Friar’s Mike Boback lifted a rebound of a Rob Gaudreau shot over Cashman, who was down and out, to give PC the lead with 2:41 remaining in the period. Merton’s hardest save came just after the goal, with Bennett in the penalty box for assaulting Cashman, as he held his ground and took an Alexandre Legault shot in the midsection, just before bodies began to pile up in the crease.

In the third period Amonte tied the game at 3:26 when he put the puck in the net on a second-chance try to Merton’s left. The game remained tied for the rest of the third sending it to overtime. Late in overtime the Friar’s had a chance to win it when Gaudreau shot a chest-high, partially screened 20-footer on net that Cashman stopped. Then, with less than a minute left in overtime Amonte and Aube went for the puck behind the Friar net and Aube knocked Amonte’s helmet off. Amonte continued to battle for the puck and won it, passing it back to Kevin O’Sullivan at the point. O’Sullivan drove the puck on net and Joe Sacco tipped it in for what appeared to be the game-winning goal. However lineman Fowkes had seen Amonte playing without his helmet and told referee Fowkes. After a discussion referee Fowkes called a penalty on Amonte and disallowed the goal, forcing BU to kill a Friar’s powerplay for the final 29 seconds to hang onto the tie.

19 January

1983: Boston University defeated Dartmouth, 6-5, in overtime, at Walter Brown Arena in front of 2,591 fans. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with the teams taking turns with the lead. BU scored first when Tom O’Regan received a pass from Marc Sinclair and put it in the net. Dartmouth’s Dan Nugent tied it when he picked up a rebound and put it past Terrier goalie Cleon Daskalakis.

In the second Dartmouth’s Bill Flanigan received a penalty at 4:14 to put BU on the powerplay. At 5:41 Terrier Dale Dunbar received a penalty and the two teams played 4-on-4 for 23 seconds before the Big Green’s Doug Hirsch received a penalty giving BU a 4-on-3 powerplay. O’Regan scored his second goal of the game at 6:13 and created a storm over which Dartmouth player should be released from the penalty box. Instead of taking Flanigan, who had 1 second left on his penalty, out of the box, referee John McCarthy released Hirsch, who had 1:51 left on his penalty. Coach Parker went ballistic, but to no avail, and instead of 4-on-4 play for 1:28 and a 23 second BU powerplay, Dartmouth received a 1:28 powerplay. The Big Green were unable to score on the man advantage, but 6 seconds after BU returned to full strength Bruce Cullen tied it at 2-all. Flanigan gave Dartmouth the 3-2 lead at 9:08 when he scored on a Scott Borek rebound on a shorthanded break. The Terriers’ Mark Pierog tied the game again when he cut in front of the net and scored at 11:49. Allen Tabor gave Dartmouth back the lead at 13:42 when he cut around the BU defense and flipped a shot behind Daskalakis. O’Regan complete his hat trick at 15:43 when he took a pass from Peter Marshall and put the puck in the net past Big Green goalie Carey Gandy.

The Terriers retook the lead 47 seconds into the third when a Sinclair’s shot from the side glanced off a Dartmouth stick and through Gandy’s legs. At 6:48 Cullen tied it again when he skated in on another shorthanded situation, went behind the Terrier net, gained control of the puck and swept around to score. With just 3 seconds remaining in regulation Dartmouth had a great chance to win the game when Mark Ardagna cut in on Daskalakis and took a shot that came within inches of going in the net, but Daskalakis came up huge to make the save. In overtime Terrier defenseman George Klapes dropped the puck to O’Regan in the Dartmouth zone and he moved in on Gandy and prepared to shoot when he saw Sinclair busting down the right wing. O’Regan fed the puck across to Sinclair who settled the bouncing puck and then shot it into the net for the winning goal at 3:03.

18 January

1986: Boston University defeated Northern Michigan, 8-7, in overtime, at Walter Brown Arena in front of 2,262 fans. It was the third straight overtime game for the Terriers, as they defeated Northeastern on 14 January, 5-4, and the Wildcats the previous day [17 January], again by a 5-4 score. It was also the third of four straight games between the Terriers and Wildcats that went to overtime, as the two teams played overtime games on 29 December 1984 at Lakeview Arena and again on 15 November 1986 at Walter Brown Arena, both NMU victories.

The game was raucous and unbridled from the start and at 7:16 of the first BU’s Scott Shaunessy and NMU’s Joe West squared off for the first fight on the evening’s card. Both players received fighting majors and game disqualifications and as Shaunessy had already received a game disqualification earlier in the season he was suspended for the next two games. After the game resumed Clark Donatelli scored when he tipped-in Ed Lowney’s shot at 16:56 of the first. In the second period the Wildcats tied it up on the powerplay on a shot through a screen by Daryl Olsen at 11:47. The Terriers retook the lead less then two minutes later when John Cullen scored at 13:42 of the period. The lead, however, was short-lived, as Northern’s Rod Poindexter tied it up again at 17:22 of the period.

The third period turned into a slugfest, both on the scoreboard, as 10 goals were scored, and on the ice. The Wildcats took their first lead of the game when Troy Jacobsen scored on a breakaway just 1:52 into the period. Sixty-three second later BU’s Tony Majkozak tied it when he scored on a rebound of a Brad MacGregor shot. Northern responded immediately and retook the lead on Kory Wright’s backhander 29 seconds after Majkozak's goal. The Wildcats opened up a 2-goal lead, 5-3, on Poindexter’s unassisted goal, his second, 25 seconds later. The goal scoring then took a short break and at 6:49 NMU’s Jeff Grade and BU’s Paul Gerlitz squared off for the second fight on the evening’s card. As in the earlier fight, both players received fighting majors and game disqualifications.

When the game resumed the Terriers wasted little time in closing the deficit to one when Lowney scored a questionable goal from a mad scrimmage in the crease at 8:31. Just over two minutes later Gary Emmons gave Northern Michigan a 2-goal lead again when he scored at 10:43. Scott Young and Mike Kelfer worked together for a pretty goal when Kelfer cut to the post, took a perfect pass from Young and put it in the net at 12:51. The Wildcats responded with just under four minutes left in the third when Emmons took a pass from Olsen and went in alone on Terrier goalie Bob Deraney, beating him to give NMU a 7-5 lead at 16:04. BU, however, was just getting warmed up and with 2:43 left in the third Kelfer knocked a clearing pass out of the air with his stick, collected it and shot it into the far corner of the net to make it a one goal game. Northern’s Dave Randall took a hooking penalty 16 seconds later and BU took advantage of the opportunity. Young took a pass from Jay Octeau and put it into the net with 1:43 remaining for the tying goal.

In overtime Cullen won a faceoff from Emmons in the Wildcats’ zone and Lowney tipped it back to Octeau on the right point. Octeau blistered a shot to the far post that beat Northern’s goalie Dennis Jiannaras 23 seconds into overtime for the game-winner.

17 January

1948: Boston University defeated Yale, 4-3, at New Haven Arena. It was the first win for the Terriers in the series, as the Eli had won the first 20 games since the series started 24 years earlier, on 13 February 1924. It was the major turning point in the series, as BU took control, raking up a 29-10-3 record starting with the win.

Yale opened the scoring just 47 seconds into the first period when Moher, assisted by Wood, put the puck in the net past Terrier goalie Ralph Bevins. BU’s Benjamin Forbes scored unassisted at 10:46 of the first to tie the game. With just 27 seconds left in the first Yale’s Clapp, assisted by Moher, put the Eli up 2-1 after one.

In the second William Gibson, assisted by Bob Bell, scored for the Terriers at 10:47. Neither team scored the rest of the period, as the game remained tied, 2-2, after two. Yale took the lead in the third for the third time when Moher, assisted by Clapp and Wood, scored his second goal of the game at 6:32. The Terriers countered, tying the game for the third time just 49 seconds later on Gibson’s second goal of the game. Assists went to Bell and Bill Jurgelevich. BU’s Bell, assisted by Lloyd Robinson, then scored the game-winner to give the Terriers the lead and the victory.

16 January

1988: Three days after upsetting Wisconsin, Boston University defeated North Dakota, 4-2, at Walter Brown Arena. Mike Kelfer led the Terriers to victory over the defending NCAA champions with a pair of goals, giving BU its first win against the Sioux in seven meetings.

BU opened the scoring when Ian Wood’s 20-foot knuckler handcuffed Sioux goalie Scott Brower at 4:59 of the first period. The Terriers were unable to score on a powerplay in the middle of the period and just after the penalty ended North Dakota took off on a two-on-one break and Grant Paranica banged in the rebound past Terrier goalie Peter Fish to knot the game up. BU regained the lead on a powerplay goal at 16:57 when Kelfer’s 25-footer glanced off Brower’s glove and trickled into the net.

In the second period, with North Dakota on the powerplay, Paranica tied the game again when he rammed Steve Johnson’s pass into the net from in front of Fish. Late in the period the Sioux received back-to-back penalties and BU took advantage. With 10 seconds left in the second penalty, and 46 seconds left in the period, Dave Tomlinson redirected Matt Pesklewis’ 20-foot shot past Brower. Kelfer was also credited with an assist for the 100th point of his Terrier career.

North Dakota’s Gary Valk was called for crosschecking at 19:59 of the second and when he slammed his stick against the boards he was called for unsportsmanlike conduct. BU started the third with 3:59 of powerplay time but Brower kept the puck out of the net, stopping Kelfer twice. The Sioux counter-attacked after the powerplay expired and Fish stopped a Lee Davidson backhander five minutes into the period when he slid across the crease for the save. Fish stoned Davidson again when he knocked down a 40-foot shot with his glove and smothered the rebound with North Dakota on a 4-on-3. Just after killing the penalty Mike Lappin tipped a loose puck out of the BU zone to Mike Sullivan. Sullivan made a centering pass to Kelfer as the pair crossed the UND blueline on a 2-on-1 break, and Kelfer tucked the puck past Brower at 8:45 to give BU a 4-2 lead.

That was it for the scoring, but with 12 seconds remaining in the game tempers flared and several scuffles broke out, as did a fight between Terrier Steve Shaunessy and Sioux Brent Bobyck. When order was restored referee Frank Cole assessed 7 penalties for 27 minutes to BU and 5 penalties for 23 minutes to North Dakota. For the game BU received 43 minutes in penalties and North Dakota received 61 minutes. After the game UND Coach Gino Gasparini said the game was the worst officiated he had ever seen and that the refs got to them.

15 January

14 January

1933: Boston University shutout Army, 7-0, at Smith Rink at West Point. The Terriers excelled in their stick work and skating and pressed the Cadets throughout the game. Carl Clem, Paul Rowe and John Lax were outstanding for BU, while Donahue and Wagstaff were the best players for Army. The game was played in three 24minute periods.

Both teams started aggressively, with Clem and Rowe leading the BU attack on the Army net. Clem scored at 3:50 from a hard scrimmage in front of the Cadet cage. Army counter-attacked, with Wagstaff and Donahue carrying the puck close to the BU net and Wagstaff’s hard drive being beautifully fended off by Russell Wight, the Terrier goalie. BU came back, pressing Army with excellent passing as Walter Bender, Clem and Rowe bombarded Van Nostrand, the Cadet goalie. Bender made a rink length rush and shot the puck into the net for BU’s second goal at 13:17 of the first period. Rowe scored from the side of the net on a shot from another scrimmage at 22:35 to close the first.

In the second the Terriers continued to attack and Army’s defense was sorely tested throughout. Bender made it 4-0 at 2:36, scoring on a pass from Clem. On the ensuing faceoff Army showed a burst of speed as Telford shot a hard drive off the post. Lax scored at 16:45 when he drove a fast shot past Van Nostrand to make it 5-0 after two periods. In the third Clem scored twice for the Terriers to make the final score 7-0.

13 January

1988: Boston University broke out of a nine game winless streak (0-6-3) by stunning Wisconsin, 10-6, before 1,971 fans at Walter Brown Arena. Wisconsin came into the game with a 16-8 record and winners of 8 of their last 10 games. It was just the Terrier’s fifth win of the season (5-11-3) and sent them on a 7-1-0 run. The Boston Globe dubbed 'Mike Line' of left wing Mike Sullivan (2-1-3), center Mike Lappin (1-2-3) and right wing Mike Kelfer (2-4-6) combined for 5 goals and 7 assists to lead the Terrier attack.

The Badgers pressured Terrier goalie Peter Fish in the first, but he turned aside all 17 shots. BU took the lead when Dave Tomlinson scored at 15:34. Chris Lappin fed Joe Sacco, who blasted a 40-footer, which Tomlinson tipped past Badger goalie Dean Anderson. The Terriers played the body and threw Wisconsin’s game off, allowing long shots that Fish handled with ease.

The second was BU’s best period, as they increased the lead to 5-1. With the Terriers on a four-on-three Sacco scored at 8:39 from the right faceoff circle after taking a nice feed from Tom Dion. Wisconsin struck back at 10:28 when Dennis Sneddon tipped a 45-foot shot by Pat Ford past Fish. BU quickly regained the 2-goal lead at 11:51 when Kelfer stole the puck, went in alone on Anderson and beat him from the crease. Sullivan upped the lead to 3-1 when he put the puck in the net from the left faceoff circle after he was setup by Kelfer. With the second period winding down Ville Kentala scored at 18:46 when he circled around the net and put the puck in from the crease.

The Terriers continued to attack in the third, but Wisconsin scored the next two goals to close within two, 5-3. Glen Revak scored from in tight on a pass from Paul Ranheim, and then Chris Tancill scored on a 40-footer from the right side. BU, however, bounced back to retake a four goal lead as Sacco scored from in close at 11:58 and Tom Ryan got a powerplay goal from 15 feet out at 12:53. Just 8 second later Sullivan scored again to put the Terriers up 8-3, but the Badgers scored the next three on goals by Sneddon, Steve Rohlik and Steve Tuttle. Up 8-6 BU ended the shootout when Kelfer scored his second goal and then Lappin scored for the final tally.
