1978: Boston University pounded Harvard, 7-1, to win their first Beanpot in three years in the Blizzard delayed championship game. The Terriers came out and relentlessly attacked the Harvard goal in the first period. BU took a 2-0 lead after one, but if it were not for Crimson goalie Jack Hynes it could have been much worse. Jack O’Callahan scored at 4:17 on the powerplay when he fired the puck from just inside the blueline in the middle. Mickey Mullen then put in his own rebound at 7:12 on a 3-on-2 break.

Mullen scored again at 3:18 of the second after mucking in the corner and passing the puck back to Bill LeBlond who shot it towards the goal and it deflected in off Mullen, who had gone to the net. The Crimson tried to staunch the Scarlet attack as Rick Benson won a face-off and wristed a shot past Jim Craig to make it 4-1 and then almost scored another on a deflection 15 seconds later. Mullen completed his hat trick less than two minutes later when he tapped in a rebound of another LeBlond shot. Dick Lamby then scored twice 31 seconds apart early in the third and LeBlond finally scored later in the period for the 7-1 final. All that was left was a brawl that erupted with 3:36 remaining in the game.
