27 February

1990: Boston University defeated Boston College, 4-2, at Walter Brown Arena in the final game of the regular season in front of 3,340 fans. David Tomlinson opened the scored at 5:26 of the first when he received a nice pass from Tony Amonte and beat Eagle’s goalie Scott LaGrand. Just 2:31 later Ed Ronan doubled the lead when he put in the rebound of a Tomlinson shot that LaGrand had made a wonderful save on but was unable to control the puck. Alexandre Legault made it 3-0 when he scored from the left point on the powerplay 1:41 after BU’s second goal. The Eagle’s finally got a goal at 13:45 of the first when David Emma scored from a scramble.

The second period was scoreless, as the Terriers killed off four Eagle powerplays. However, BU lost captain Mike Sullivan as he was checked hard to the ice and had to assisted from the ice. He was taken to University Hospital where he was checked out and it was found he had a badly sprained left ankle. The Eagles scored 59 seconds into the third when Bill Nolan beat Scott Cashman on a two-on-one break with Ted Crowley. That was as close as BC would get and at 9:40 Joe Sacco put home a rebound of a Legault shot to close the door.
