Chris Drury, Bill Pierce and Mike Sylvia staked the Terriers to a 3-0 midway through the second period. The Knights scored twice in the final period to make it close. Tom Noble had 20 saves for the Terriers.

1991: BU completed a two-game sweep of Michigan in the NCAA quarterfinals with an 8-1 thumping at Walter Brown Arena. (QFs were played on campus at the time).
