1971: Boston University defeated Harvard, 4-1, to win its third straight Beanpot and sixth in seven years. It was a torrid, but penalty-marred game in which BU’s Dan Brady and Harvard’s Bruce Durno each had to make over a dozen sensational saves. Paul Giandomenico opened the scoring at 6:31 when he put home a 10-footer from the right of Durno.


The scored stayed that way for the rest of the first and through 2:25 of a 5-3 Harvard powerplay in the second. The Crimson tied the game at 14:15 of the second when Dave Hynes put a 10-footer into an empty net after teammate Bill Corkery crashed into Brady and pulled him out of position. Then, with time running down in the second period Steve Stirling skated behind the net, picked up a rebound and put the puck past Durno from the crease with 15 seconds left in the second.


Steve Dolloff scored at 6:42 of the third. After skating down the left side, he stick-handled through four Crimson players and put a 15-foot backhander into the net. Don Cahoon finished the scoring when he received a perfect pass from Stirling and put it past Durno from 5 feet out.
