The following season Denver continued their torrid pace . In his final season with the Pioneers Powers won a further 26 games , setting a new program record with 76 victories ( 3rd most as of 2018 ) and recorded 5 more shutouts to bright his career total up to 13 , yet another Denver record ( 2nd most as of 2018 ) . While Powers was n't able to continue his winning streak past the first game of the season he did help Denver win a second consecutive tournament championship and make the 1969 NCAA Tournament . Denver 's offense was more in force than it had been the year before and Powers had an easy task in the semifinal before the long-awaited showdown with Cornell . The title game brought together two senior goalies with the most wins in NCAA history ( Dryden 's 76 to Powers 75 ) and while the future Hall of Famer would falter in his final game , Powers would not . Gerry turned away 33 of Cornell 's 36 shots and lead the Pioneers to the program 's fifth national championship in only 11 seasons . The two netminders both left the championship game with 76 wins , an NCAA record for three seasons that would stand for over 20 years
