30 March

1995: In the NCAA Final Four semifinal in Providence, Terriers erupt for four third period goals to skate past Minnesota, 7-3. Captain Jacques Joubert and Doug Wood scored in the first period. Matt Wright gave BU a 3-2 lead in the second, but the Gophers knotted the game at three. Bob Lachance scored the go-ahead goal in the final period, followed by goals from Chris O'Sullivan, Shawn Bates and Mike Sylvia. Derek Herlofsky, a Minnesota native, turned asside 30 Gopher shots.

1990: BU's remarkable post-season run came to an end with a 3-2 loss to Colgate in the NCAA semifinals. BU, led by captain Mike Sullivan and Joe Sacco, had won three best-of-three series, each time losing the first game before winning the next two: Northeastern in the Hockey East quarter-finals, then North Dakota and Michigan State (in E. Lansing) in the NCAA tournament.
