A history of heartbreak at the hands of Boston College has left
the Harvard women’s hockey team empty-handed far too often in
recent years. Could the 8 p.m. opening round matchup of the 32nd
Beanpot finally be the chance the sixth-ranked Crimson (12-5-4,
9-5-2 ECAC) gets revenge?
It all started four years ago when the Eagles (5-13-9, 4-8-4
Hockey East) won their first Beanpot title, defeating Harvard in
the process. The rivalry escalated quickly. The very next year,
Boston College knocked off the Crimson again in triple overtime at
the Eagles’ home rink in the opening round of the Beanpot.
Netting the heartbreaker for Boston College was a freshman named
Anna McDonald, now Harvard’s sixth leading scorer. The senior
gets a chance to turn the tables tonight.
“I’m really excited this year for the Beanpot because
it truly will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me,”
McDonald wrote in an email. “I get to come full
circle…isn’t that crazy? It’s like a mirror
image of the situation, and I feel so lucky to be on this side of
the mirror.”
