1987: Boston University outlasted Providence, 7-6, in overtime, at Schneider Arena in a back-and-forth game. The Friars opened the scoring just 1:27 into the game when Andy Mattice beat BU goalie Terry Taillefer. Providence doubled the lead when defenseman Jeff Serowik scored at 5:30. The Terriers, however, quickly counter attacked, scoring at 7:04 on a goal by John Cullen and again at 8:51 on a goal by Mike Kelfer to tie the game at 2-all. However, the Friars regained the lead on a powerplay goal by Gord Cruickshank at 11:17 of the first.

After a wild first 11+ minutes there was no more scoring over the next 20 minutes. Despite settling down and making 10 saves in the first, Coach Parker replaced Taillefer with Peter Fish at the start of the second period. The switch seemed to work as Fish saved all nine shots he faced, while the Terriers scored twice on PC goalie Matt Merton. Cullen scored his second goal of the game at 13:38 and Ed Lowney scored at 18:41 to give BU their first lead of the game.

In the third Ville Kentala increased the lead to 5-3 at 5:53, but Fish was unable to hold the lead. First Cruickshank scored his second of the game at 12:41, then Friar Captain Terry Sullivan tied the game at 15:13 and 25 second later Rick Bennet gave Providence the lead, 6-5. The Terriers tied game with Fish pulled for an extra attacker when Clark Donatelli scored with 11 seconds remaining in the period. In overtime Merten made 7 saves (to Fish’s 4) before Mike Sullivan beat him for the game winner at 6:23.

It was the Terriers last win at Schneider Arena for over six years as they would go 0-7-3 in the next ten games.

2008: BU and Maine were deadlocked at 1-1 after regulation, but it took the Terriers just 10 seconds of overtime to end the game. Wes Clark and Chris Higgins traded first period goals but no one could find the net in the second or third. Brian Strait grabbed the overtime faceoff and drove it behind the Black Bears' net. Colin Wilson got there first and backhanded a centering pass to hard-charging Luke Popko who rammed it home. (Video Highlights)
