Both No. 1 BC and No. 8 BU took care of business on Monday, earning their first meeting in the Beanpot title game since 2016.

NU retaliated with a goal at 14:39. Freshman right wing Ben Poitras redirected Jackson Dorrington’s shot from the blue line past Fowler for his first of the season. BC made it 3-1 at 18:29 when defenseman Eamon Powell crashed the left circle and ripped a wrister that beat Whitehead 5-hole for his second of the season.

Boston College and Boston University have not met in the Beanpot Final since 2016. But on Monday night at the Garden, the two Commonwealth Avenue archrivals decided to do something about that. Both the Terriers and the Eagles earned berths in next Monday’s championship game with lopsided wins.

The red light bulbs that hang above the nets at TD Garden may need to be replaced after Monday’s Beanpot Tournament semifinal doubleheader, which featured No. 1 Boston College and No. 8 Boston University winning their respective games by a combined score of 15-3.
