Mark Albrecht put BC on the scoreboard midway through the second period when he cut unmolested down right wing and backhanded the puck over Brian Petrovek's (34 saves to Skidmore's 35) left shoulder, but Kevin Burke came right back for the Crimson with a slap shot that Skidmore still hasn't seen...
Twice, Gilligan set up Neil LaBatte at the point, once with Harvard a man shy, and on both occasions, the sophomore defenseman sent the puck goalward. Finally, with the Crimson on the power play, freshman Mike Mastrullo insultingly added Brown's eighth score as he slid a slap shot along the ice past Petrovek and killed a few worms in the process.

Petrovek kept the Crimson in it with a couple of flashy saves on Mike Eruzione and later Terry Meagher, but B.U. was treated to one rebound too many, and at 15:25 Meagher (Terry) tucked the puck into the left corner on another power play for a 2-1 first period lead...
