1958: Boston University defeated Northeastern, 9-3, to win their first Beanpot. Bill Sullivan scored twice in the first to give the Terriers a 2-0 lead, but the Huskies made it 2-1 when Jim Walsh scored at the 15 minute mark. Don MacLeod scored to give BU a 3-1 lead after one. Early in the second period Bill Sweeney scored, then Sullivan completed his hat trick and Don MacLeod scored his second of the game all in 85 seconds to blow the game open. The Terriers increased the lead to 8-1 in the third on a pair of goals by Dave MacLeod, Don’s brother. Art Paresky countered with a pair of his own 20 seconds apart, but NU was unable to get any closer. Bob Marquis put an exclamation point on the win scoring BU’s 9th goal of the night. Bill Sullivan, who also had a goal in the semifinal win over Boston College, was named MVP.
