Unfortunately for BU, the tactic didn't work and the Crimson were able to solve the Terriers' defense 6 times en route to a comfortable win.

Pulls Surprise to Defeat Eagles The Heights January 6, 1925 December 4, 2023 Once the players returned from the break, they het the road for a 2-game swing through New York. Hamilton, one of the strongest teams in the country, proved too much for the Terriers. The offense faltered and was unable to get a single goal in the game.

IN ARENA The New Hampshire February 12, 1925 December 4, 2023 The game was also notable for the debut of Martin on the defense. With the team already assured of their best season in program history, the team faced a very tough challenge in its final two games. With Martin back in the cage, the team played host to the Elis and their defense was tested throughout the game. Morey Kontoff, who was finally back with the club, opened the scoring in the first. The Terrier defense then set up a nigh-impenetrable wall for the remainder of the game and turned aside a myriad of Bulldogs chances. Yale's offense was too powerful to completely stop but BU held the Elis' to just 2 goals on the night. Unfortunately, the Yale defense was equally impressive and with Kontoff's marker being the only goal that the Terriers could get, the team fell to the eventual Intercollegiate Champions.https://ydnhistorical.library.yale.edu/?a=d&d=YDN19250212-01.2.1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- UNIVERSITY IS VICTORIOUS IN FAST HOCKEY GAME Yale Daily News February 12, 1925 December 4, 2023 Boston University ended the year with a rematch against BC and the Eagles were looking for revenge.
