1974: Boston University defeated Colgate, 7-2, at Walter Brown Arena in front of 2,322 fans on a Saturday afternoon. Tom Casey scored on the first period to give Colgate a 1-0 lead and goalie Chris Grigg had made it stand up late into the second period. The Terriers finally solved Grigg on the powerplay when Mike Eruzione deflected a Pete Brown blast past him with 2:20 left in the period. Pete Marzo beat him 51 seconds later to give BU a 2-1 lead after two.

Ken Kuzyk scored on a nice play just 26 seconds into the third, Eruzione scored his second of the game at 3:20 and the route was on. Colgate’s John Barnett temporarily stopped the hemorrhaging when he caught Terrier goalie Ed Walsh out of the crease and put the puck in the vacated net. That was followed by the BU’s 5th goal when Bill Burlington pulled all the Red Raiders towards him and Jim Lowell put the puck in the open net. Marzo then scored his second of the game on the powerplay and Eruzione completed his first hat trick as a Terrier with 2:12 remaining in the game.
