8 February

1965: Boston University defeated Northeastern, 5-4, in triple overtime in the first round of the Beanpot. The Terriers took a 2-0 lead after one on goals by Vic Conte and Fred Bassi. In a wild second period the Huskies tied it up on goals by Charles MacGillivray and Don Turcotte. BU then retook the lead on a goal by Mike Sobeski only to see NU tie the game again on a goal by Paul Bloh. Once again the Terriers forged a lead when Lyman Carter scored and once again the Huskies tied the game on Turcotte’s second goal of the game. Then the goalie took over as NU’s Gary Thornton and BU’s Jack Ferreira did not allow a goal for the next forty minutes. Then, in the third overtime Bassi took a pass from Tom Rossi, split the NU defense, skated in and beat Thornton for the winning goal.
