🏆 Northeastern goes back-to-back, Gunnarwolfe Fontaine scores OT winner
Northeastern sweeps the men's and women's Beanpot after the Northeastern men defeated No. 3 Boston University 4-3 in the 2024 men's Beanpot title game on Monday night.
The Huskies go back-to-back for the second time in six years. The last time they won the Beanpot consecutive years was a three-year win streak from 2018-2020. A back-and-forth affair in Boston ended with Gunnar Fontaine coming in the clutch by collecting his second OT winner of the tournament.
Did you expect anything else?

🔥 Gametime! Northeastern and BU battle for the 2024 Beanpot title
It's officially here! The Northeastern Huskies and BU Terriers are underway for the bragging rights in the 2024 Beanpot.
Northeastern is looking to be a repeat champion while BU is looking to add on to their 31 Beanpot championships.
A showdown with historic ties, it's sure to be an amazing ending to one of college hockey's most storied tournaments.
Follow along for top moments and goals from the matchup.
🥳 Championship Monday is here! Boston U, Northeastern meet at TD Garden
College hockey's most celebrated in-season tournament will crown a men's champion from a packed TD Garden at 7:30 p.m. ET Monday night, featuring semifinal winners No. 3 Boston U and Northeastern. The consolation match between Harvard and No. 1 Boston College will take place Monday as well from TD Garden at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Third time proved the charm for the Terriers in the Beanpot's first round as BU avenged two earlier losses to Boston College by surging out to a 4-1 lead, ultimately surviving a late-game surge to beat the top-ranked Eagles 4-3. Macklin Celebrini scored BU's first two goals of the afternoon, continuing his streak as one of America's top scorers — Celebrini ranks second nationally with 1.64 points per game — as he's helped the Terriers to just one loss against teams other than BC in their last 18 outings.
Meanwhile, Northeastern continued its late-season turnaround with a come-from-behind victory over Harvard last Monday in the Beanpole's other semifinal. The Huskies began the season just 7-12-1, including a lowly 1-8 mark against ranked teams. But as winners of four straight, including triumphs over No. 3 Boston U and No. 6 Maine, Northeastern used its newfound resolve to find a third-period equalizer and a Gunnarwolfe Fontaine overtime winner against the Crimson.
Fans tuning into this title fight, which will be broadcast on NESN and ESPN+, can expect high-octane action from the Garden, as both teams rank inside the top-20 for scoring offense with over 3.15 goals per game.
🏆 Boston U, Northeastern to meet in men's Beanpot finals
Despite a late third period push from the top-ranked Eagles, No. 3 BU advances to the Beanpot final with a 4-3 win. Macklin Celebrini's two first period goals gave the Terriers a lead they would not relinquish.
