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.
