This was two years before my time, but this series was Bowling Green at
Boston University in 1984.  BU won the first game 6-3 (+3 goals) and then
lost the second game 1-4 (-3 goals).  The two teams then played the
overtime, which Bowling Green won, making the final score of the second game
1-5.  By the way, according to the BU media guide that is the only time
Jerry York won a game against BU (now 1-16 against the Terriers).
 
Of course BG then went on to NCAA overtime history at Lake Placid.
