CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Top-ranked Boston College finds itself in the Beanpot consolation game on Monday night against Harvard. The Eagles, who from last Monday's semifinal to BU at TD Garden, responded with a 6-1 win over No. 17 New Hampshire on Friday, including three goals in the first five minutes and a 4-for-7 performance on power plays.
