Stats' Trackers (October Update)
Introducing our Terrier Stat Trackers for the 2024-25
In our season preview, we mentioned a few stat chases we were following for the season: the freshman goal record, the freshman defenseman points record, and Ryan Greene and Quinn Hutson’s pursuit of 100 pts. With Lola Reid’s stellar start to her freshman year, we are adding the women’s freshman points record to our trackers.
Freshman Goals Record (Men’s)
First up, Cole Eiserman and the freshman goal record. The record was set in the 1976-77 season by future Olympic Gold Medalist David Silk, who scored 35 goals in 34 games played. We don’t have game by game data pre-2003, so we will use Macklin Celebrini’s 2023-24 as an analogue, who is one of only 3 Terriers in program history to record 30+ goals in their freshman year—the third being Mark Fidler in 1977-78. Cole got off to a hot start, scoring 4 goals in his first 3 games, the first Terrier to do so since Shane Bowers in 2017-18. Through 5 games, Eiserman (4) is 2 goals off of Celebrini’s total (6). At his current pace, Cole is expected to reach 27 goals by the end of the regular season.
Freshman Defensemen Records (Men’s)
In 1989-90, Alexandre Legault set the program record for most points by a freshman defenseman with 30 pts in 43 games played. The record would stand for 33 years until Lane Hutson smashed the record, putting up 48 pts in 39 games played in 2022-23. Cole Hutson, Lane’s brother, is keeping it close, putting up 4 points in his first 5 games compared to Lane’s 6 in his first 5. Cole is currently on pace for 27 pts by the end of the regular season.
Lane was not the most prolific goalscorer at BU, though he does hold the freshman defenseman goal record at 15. It took Lane until his fifth game with the Terriers to record his first and average a goal every 2.2 games. Cole, scored in his first game as a Terrier, has the goal scoring ability to break Lane’s record.
Freshman Points Record (Women’s)
Lola Reid has started her freshman season like a rocket, with 11 pts in 9 games played—an astonishing 1.22 pts per game. BU Athletics Hall of Famer, Three-Time Olympic Gold Medalist Marie-Philip Poulin started her freshman year with a 2.00 pts per game pace in October, eventually recorded the school record of 47 pts in just 28 games. Reid is on pace for 42 pts by the end of the regular season.
Race to 100
Nobody has recorded 100 points in a Terrier jersey since Patrick Harper did so in 2019-20, Quinn Hutson and Ryan Greene have a chance to reach that milestone this season. Hutson is currently on 69 pts in 84 games with the Terriers and needs just 31 pts to reach the milestone, BU has 29 regular season games so he would need 1.07 pts per game to reach 100. Greene is at 72 pts through 83 games of his BU career, needing to record .97 pts per game to reach the milestone by the end of the regular season.
We will keep updating these trackers as the months go on, and add more if more records and milestone look to be in reach.
