1970: In a battle of undefeated teams, BU and Harvard battled to a 4-4 overtime tie at a sold-out Watson Rink. Crimson took an early 1-0 lead when All-American Joe Cavanagh’s ten-footer got past Tim Regan, but the lead lasted just nine seconds with Toot Cahoon scoring, assisted by Steve Stirling and Mike LaGarde. Harvard went ahead again late in the first period on a Bob McManama goal. In the second period BU scored the equalizer when LaGarde sent Stirling in for a point blank shot and then took its first lead on Peter Thornton’s unassisted goal. Harvard knotted the score again on Dave Hynes’ power play goal. BU’s second lead of the game came 30 seconds into the third period on Bob Gryp’s shorthanded goal, assisted by John Danby and Wayne Gowing. But Harvard’s Dan DeMichele got that one back less than two minutes later. Another 23 minutes of action, including the overtime, produced no winner. Regan stopped 23 shots while his counterpart, Bruce Durno, had 26 saves.
