1959: Boston University upset Clarkson, 4-3, to win their first game in six tries at Walker Arena. It was also the Golden Knights first loss to an Eastern team in four years at Walker. BU also did it with the help of Bob Marquis as Clarkson held him scoreless for only the second time for the season. The first time was also by the Golden Knights, on 18 December (1958) at Boston Arena, a 6-1 Terrier loss.
The Terriers struck quickly as Larry Creighton beat Clarkson goalie Bill Armstrong just 1:27 into the game. Bill McCormack doubled the lead at 15:23 to give BU the 2-0 lead after one. In the second McCormack scored his second goal of the game at 13:52 to make it 3-0 in favor of the Terriers. Clarkson refused to roll over and struck back just 28 seconds later when Mel Tomalty beat BU goalie Ron Tanner. At 15:40 of the second Jim Cross scored to make it 4-1 after two periods. In the third the Golden Knights got that back when Tomalty scored his second of the game at 12:57. Bill Little then made it a one-goal game with 1:23 remaining, but Clarkson was unable to get the equalizer past Tanner.
