How recent is recent?  Back in the late sixties and early eventies, when
players could only play on the varsity for three years, BU had several
outstanding senior classes.  The '67 seniors had a three year record of
77-19-1 (.799) and the '72 seniors had an even better record of 74-13-2 (.843).
 
Four year senior players with great winning records include the '78 class
which had a 103-23-2 record (.813) and the '79 class with a record of
98-25-3 (.790).  the current BU seniors have a career record of 116-31-9 (.772).
