The Huskies look to three-peat this year after winning the last two tournaments. With a win over BC tonight, Northeastern will be one step closer to winning its 20th Women’s Beanpot championship.

The Terriers dominated the entire game, outshooting Harvard 41-10, but they just couldn’t find an answer for Harvard goalie Ainsley Tuffy.

That was until RW Sydney Healey found the puck on her stick on the backdoor, and tied the game with 55 seconds left in regulation.

Then in overtime, LW Lindsay Bochna ripped a short-side shot over Tuffy’s blocker to score the game winner in her first Beanpot game to complete the comeback and to send the Terriers to the championship game.

Boston U and Harvard are still tied at zero after 40 minutes. The Terriers are dominating in the shot department, outshooting the Crimson 21 to 5, but neither team has found the back of the net.

With a 2-1 overtime win against Boston University in 2024, Northeastern won its second Women’s Beanpot in a row, and its third in four years.

With 19 tournament championships since 1979, the Huskies are the winningest of the four teams that compete in the Beanpot each year.

Number of Women’s Beanpot championships won:

1. Northeastern (19)
2. Harvard (15)
3. Boston College (8)
4. Boston University (2)

Northeastern will look to continue its dominance in 2025 as the Huskies chase their third tournament win in a row, and their 20th all-time.

The 46th women’s Beanpot is set to begin Jan. 14 at Northeastern University’s Matthews Arena, with the four women’s NC hockey programs in the Boston area facing off.
