BU holds off Harvard, makes 55th final in 69th Beanpot

BOSTON (AP) — Matt Brown and Ethan Phillips scored second-period goals and Boston University held off Harvard for a 4-3 victory on Monday night in the semifinal of the 69th annual Beanpot tournament.

Boston University (15-10-3) will play for its 31st title — the most of four schools in the tournament — next Monday night at TD Garden. BU will face the to-be-determined winner of the other semifinal between three-time defending champion Northeastern and Boston College.

The Terriers have won 29 of the last 55 Beanpots and earned their 55th trip to the championship.

Harvard (12-8-2) has captured the title 11 times, the last coming in 2017.
