McGovern beat Nixon in Massachusetts by a comfortable margin, but Nixon beat McGovern in Rhode Island and Vermont by comfortable margins. Even if you subtract Suffolk County, McGovern still beats Nixon in Massachusetts.

honestly a lot of college students who were opposed to the war in Vietnam, mass is also just generally more liberal then the rest of the country. plus you also had what was left of the kennedy worshiping cult of personality after the assassinations of president kennedy and RFK.
