Beanpot Notebook: Total Domination

Making History

With a victory over No.8 Northeastern next Tuesday, Harvard would become the first team in school history to win three consecutive Beanpot Tournaments. The Crimson won back-to-back in '82-83 before getting blanked 7-0 by Northeastern in its bid for a third.

The polar opposite of the men's tournament, the women's Beanpot has been dominated by Northeastern and Harvard over its 22-year history. The Huskies have won 14 championships. The Crimson is next with six. Boston University and Brown--an out-of-place Beanpot invitee--have one title apiece.

A Familiar Final

Northeastern and Harvard will battle in the Beanpot final for the 16th time at Conte Forum next Tuesday. The Huskies have beaten the Crimson in 11 of those 15 previous matchups.

The last time Harvard and Northeastern met was Jan. 12 when the Crimson scored five goals in the third to turn a 2-1 second-period deficit into a comfortable 6-3 win.
