CHESTNUT HILL--Last night in the Conte Forum, the Boston College women's hockey team showed their male counterparts the right way to use a 3-1 lead.

One night earlier, the BC's men hockey squad lost the Beanpot consolation game to Northeastern after having lead by two goals.

But the woman would not make the same mistake as BC (13-5 overall) overcame a late Harvard rally to beat the Crimson 4-3 in the women's Beanpot consolation.

The loss was another heartbreaker for the Crimson, which has now lost six games by one goal this season. Victory, like the Eagles' winning goal in overtime, has been out of the team's reach.

The Crimson (5-11-2 overall), whose record in overtime this season is 0-1-2, has only won one of its last nine games.

The loss was its second in a row as Harvard suffered 4-1 defeat to Princeton last Sunday.

"It was a great comeback," Harvard Coach John Dooley said. "The blue line was fantastic in getting the two tying goals."

Down 3-1, Harvard did not fold. Sophomore Diana Clark scored at 3:35 of the third when she took a feed from freshman Holly Leitzes and beat BC netminder Dina Solimini on the glove side with a hip-high shot.

With 3:28 left in the game, the Crimson tied the score on a perfect center pass from Alissi to freshman Megan Hall.

In overtime, Eagle's Kate Antos ended the suspense when she fired the winning goal from the crease 1:14 into the extra period, beating sophomore Crimson goalie Erin Villiotte who looked to have the puck firmly in her grasp.

Unfortunately she didn't.

Trouble Scoring

The Crimson had trouble scoring throughout the game and just could not convert on many good opportunities, finding no answer to the solid Eagle defense.

"We just can't finish," said Dooley, whose team had 45 shots on goal to BC's 15. "You should be able to finish. We had the opportunities."

"Their goaltender was fantastic," he said.
