4 March

1975: Second seeded Boston University needed overtime to defeat seventh seeded Brown, 5-4, at Walter Brown Arena in an ECAC Quarterfinal game matchup. Brown lead most of the game behind a sterling 55-save performance by Kevin McCabe, as the Bruins took a 2-0 lead in the first on a pair of goals by Dave Given. In the second Mike Eruzione got one back for BU, but Brown scored again to lead 3-1 late in the period before Rick Meagher closed it to 3-2 after two. Bill Buckton tied the game at 9:42 of the third, but the Bruins responded and quickly retook the lead, 4-3, on Bill Gilligan’s solo effort. The Terriers tied the game up again when Ken Kuzyk scored with 5:17 left in regulation and sent the game to overtime. Meagher then ended the game at 1:42 overtime on a long shot that eluded McCabe to send the Terriers to the ECAC semifinals for the 10th time in 11 seasons.
