The score a year later was 6-3, not 7-0. When looking through the RPI
Media Guide, I skipped a year. 6-3 was the score in 66-67; 7-0 in
67-68.
On another topic, Mike Machnik wrote the following in response to my
mentioning Dick Greenlaw's 78-save effort vs BU. Thanks to Mike for
the research into NC$$ save records.

According to my copy of the 94-95 RPI Media Guide, Greenlaw's 78 saves
were in 65-66, on 12/14/65. This agrees also with my memory.
Greenlaw was in the class of '68 and thus was an ineligible Freshman
on 2/20/65. Bill Sack was probably in goal for that loss to BU. The
score in the 12/14/65 game was BU 9 RPI 0 and thus BU had 87 shots on
goal. I agree with Mike that it is unlikely that the 87 shots is a
record.
I suspect that the College Hockey Record Manual and the ECAC Media
Guide that Mike quoted are in error. I would appreciate anyone who
could confirm that Greenlaw's 78 saves were in 65-66.
