Box Score

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's hockey team (8-11-3) punched its ticket to the Beanpot title game with a 4-1 win over No. 7/7 Boston College (19-10-0) on Tuesday night at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center. The Crimson leads all tournament teams with 29 championship appearances and will be playing for its 15th crown next Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. against No. 8/8 Boston University. Additionally, Harvard snapped a five-game losing streak against the Eagles, having last beaten them in the 2015 Beanpot final, also at Harvard.

Lindsay Reed played like an absolute machine, making 52 saves, which marks the most by a Harvard goalie since Nov. 2016. On offense, Brooke Jovanovich led the pack with two goals and an assist while six other teammates put themselves on the scoresheet, including Dominique Petrie who also had a three-point outing that extended her point streak to three games.

Boston College struck first in the final minute of the opening period on a quick deflection out front from Makenna Newkirk. That would be the last heard from the Eagles, as Harvard scored four unanswered goals in the final 40 minutes. Brooke Jovanovich lit the lamp for the second time in three games at 8:10 of the second, scoring five-hole on a breakaway from mid-ice. Dominique Petrie would put the Crimson ahead before the end of the second, netting a wrister from the slot at 13:44.

Laing made a shattering statement in the third when she scored five-hole, nine seconds in from the bottom right circle. Near the close of the game, Jovanovich ripped her second of the night, adding insurance to the score off a Petrie/Gilmore rebound.
