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.
