Boston University has regained the men's Beanpot Tournament title.
The No. 17 Terriers, who have won the annual Boston bragging rights tournament more than any other of the four competing schools, claimed their first crown since 2015 with last night's 1-0 win over 13th-ranked Northeastern, which was seeking its fourth straight title after a 30-year drought. The tournament was not held last year for the first time since its inception in 1952, due to COVID-19 concerns.
Dylan Peterson's goal with less than three minutes remaining in regulation on Monday at TD Garden proved to be the only score of the contest, and earned him 2022 Beanpot MVP honors. Vinny Duplessis made 19 saves for the Terriers, while TJ Semptimphelter recorded 28 stops for the Huskies and also garnered the Eberly Award for the lowest save percentage (.972) over two Beanpot games this year.
In the consolation game, Boston College remained winless in its last 12 outings this season, following a 3-3 tie with Harvard, which came back from a two-goal deficit. It was the first tie in the Beanpot's 69-year history, thanks to changes instituted in the overtime rules.
Last week, sixth-ranked Harvard won the 2002 Women's Beanpot Tournament with a 5-4 victory over Boston College at host Northeastern.
