WE’RE GOING TO THE ‘SHIP

Harvard’s six seniors have never experienced anything but Beanpot championship games, and last night’s shootout win ensures that they will end their careers with at least another runner-up finish.

The Crimson has won two out of the last three titles, topping the Huskies, 1-0, in last year’s final., and will have the chance to defend next week against Boston College.

“The Beanpot means a tremendous amount to those of us over at Harvard,” Stone said, “and it would have been very disappointing had we not made it to the final.”

That pride contributed to the Crimson’s sense of urgency as it scored twice in the game’s final five minutes to force overtime.

“In the locker room, definitely after the second period, you just look around at the seniors, and you just want [it] so bad,” senior Ashley Wheeler said. “We’re playing for every single person on that team...but definitely as a senior class, we really wanted this one.”

Harvard’s seniors did their part in regulation, playing a part in each of the team’s three goals, before the sophomores took care of business in the shootout.
