1964: Boston University upset favored Harvard, 3-2, in double overtime in the first round of the Beanpot. It was the first win by the Terriers over the Crimson in 10 games going back almost 5 years and it marked a turning point in the series. BU was 17-41-3 vs. Harvard before the game, but is 55-21-3 since (game included).

The Terriers forged a 2-0 lead after one period on goals by Bruce Fennie and Bob McCabe. The Crimson battled back, cutting the deficit to one on a goal by Smith in the second and tying the game on a goal by Billy Lamarche in the third. In the first 10-minute overtime neither team scored and at 4:34 of the second overtime period Lyman Carter backhanded a rebound past Harvard goalie Brandon Sweitzer from a goal-mouth scramble for the game winner. Jack Ferreira made 34 saves for the win in what is still the second-longest game played by the Terriers in the tournament. It was also the first Beanpot win for second-year head coach Jack Kelley, who would go on to win 6 Beanpot from 1966 to 1972.
