BC Drops Heartbreaker to No. 6 Harvard in Beanpot Championship Game
February 08, 2022 | Women's Hockey
The Eagles tied the game four different times, but Harvard held on for the 5-4 final.
BOSTON – The Boston College women's hockey team went toe-to-toe with sixth-ranked Harvard in the Beanpot Championship game but ultimately fell, 5-4, to the Crimson at Matthews Arena.
In a game that would see the Eagles equalize on four separate occassions, Harvard struck first with a deflected puck just two minutes into the game. That 1-0 lead would hold into the first intermission. Maddie Crowley-Cahill pulled the Eagles even twice in the middle frame, doing it just 57 seconds in and then answering another Harvard goal five minutes later. The teams then combined for five goals over the final 15 minutes of play, with Harvard taking the 5-4 lead with just over three minutes to play.
Abigail Levy was named the Bertagna Award winner as the tournament's top goaltender. Levy finished her two games with a total of 99 saves.
