BOSTON – Boston College will compete for its first Beanpot Championship since 2016 and 21st overall after defeating No. 17 Harvard 2-1 in the first round of the 67th annual tournament on Monday night at TD Garden.
Led by a pair of tallies from freshmen Patrick Giles and Jack McBain and 27 saves from goaltender Joseph Woll, the Eagles topped the Crimson to set up a date with either Boston University or reigning champion Northeastern University next Monday.
Giles netted his first collegiate goal five minutes into the first period as the trailer on a 3-on-2.
