“We [got] what should have been the winning goal, and then [went] to sleep again,” Parker said.

But what should have been the winning goal was not, thanks to two late Crimson goals in the third period.

Biega tied it up at 4-4 with a shot from the point into a mess of players, sneaking it past Millan with 4:03 on the clock.

Captain Michael Del Mauro then finished off a series of good passes on a rebound from sophomore Connor Morrison’s shot to bring the Crimson into the lead with just over two minutes left.

“[Del Mauro’s] work ethic and commitment to the team are unmatched,” Donato said. “I couldn’t be happier for him—he deserves it.”

With the game on the line, the Terriers pulled their goalie for an extra man on the ice, but the sixth skater could not put one past Carroll.

In an unusually high-scoring matchup, the nine goals scored certainly made it entertaining for the small crowd that came out early for the consolation game.

Visibly displeased, Parker commented on the disappointing play of the BU team.

“That win doesn’t mean a lot to Harvard, but that loss means an awful lot to us,” he said.

On the contrary, the review from the Crimson’s players was overwhelmingly positive.

“There’s always some sentiment that it’s the last time we’re playing in the Beanpot, so it’s hard, but winning the last game is something that really does feel great,” Del Mauro said. “Knowing that the team is moving in the right direction is something that feels even better. And you know hopefully next year these guys will be playing in the big game.”

Coming off a string of losses, Harvard has recently been playing better than its record suggests.

“We’ve been playing some very good hockey and not getting the results we wanted,” Del Mauro said. “This finally translated into success.”

“We had a little bit of a tough go, but things are starting to click,” Biega added. “And today was really big moving forward.”
