Riding a 12-game unbeaten streak, the 1970-71 Terriers began the ECAC playoffs with an offensive explosion, ripping RPI 11-0, at Boston Arena. Seven Terriers found the back of the net with Don "Toot" Cahoon, now head coach at UMass, scoring the first of his two post-season hattricks. Captain Steve Stirling and Ray Cournoyea each netted a pair while John Danby, Paul Giandomenico, Steve Dolloff and Bob Murray each added a goal. Goalie Dan Brady stopped 28 Engineer shots as BU improved its overall record to 25 -1-1
