Riley, who had been in goal for the entire '29 season, found himself being challenged by sophomores Coleman and Whiston but the veteran was in net for the opening match.
The Terriers had already been on the ice for 6 weeks and were expected to win the match but Riley had a whale of a game and limited BU to just a single goal.
Peterson, Ford and Hall were notable for their many sallies up the ice but only Ben Hazeltine managed to score for Harvard in an otherwise dismal affair.
