BOSTON (AP) – Benn Ferriero had a goal and an assist, Cory Schneider saved 20 shots and Boston College advanced to the finals of the 55th Beanpot Tournament with a 3-1 win over Harvard on Monday night.

Nathan Gerbe and Brian Boyle also scored for the Eagles, who reached the championship game for the fourth time in five seasons and will play Boston University for the title next Monday night. Earlier, John Curry made 27 saves to lead the two-time defending champion Terriers past Northeastern 4-0.

The annual tournament features Boston’s four Division I hockey programs vying for a coveted trophy and citywide bragging rights. The Eagles have won the tournament 13 times – second to BU’s 27 – but not since 2004.

The two teams will meet in the final for the sixth time since 2000, including the second straight year. Boston University beat Boston College 3-2 in last year’s championship before the Eagles went on a late-season run and advanced to the national title game, where they lost to Wisconsin.

Dylan Reese scored and Kyle Richter saved 29 shots for Harvard, which hasn’t advanced to the Beanpot final since 1998 and hasn’t won the tournament since 1993.

The Crimson jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Reese fired a slap shot through a crowd and past Schneider 8:12 into the first period.

But the Eagles stormed back, outshooting the Crimson a combined 21-15 in the second and third periods for the comeback win.

After BC tied it 1-1 by then end of the first on Ferriero’s goal from just inside the blue line, Gerbe’s shorthanded goal put BC up 2-1 6:22 into the second.

A streaking Gerbe retrieved a pass from Ferriero, then glided the puck between the post and Richter’s glove.

Schneider saved nine shots in the second period and six more in the third. Boyle then scored an open-net goal in the closing seconds to put the game out of reach.

The Terriers, ranked No. 8 in the nation, entered on a three-game winless skid (0-1-2) and were coming off a 0-0 tie last Friday against UMass-Lowell.

“We needed a confidence booster,” Curry said. “Last Friday wasn’t the best game, but tonight we came out and we really refocused quickly. We only had two days of practice and the next day we were a little bit down, but we had to get geared up for this game. We couldn’t dwell on it.”

BU’s Pete MacArthur and Kenny Roche scored within 48 seconds midway through the second period to break a scoreless tie. Dan McGoff scored twice in the third to give the Terriers a cushion.

“I thought this was our most thorough game of the year,” BU coach Jack Parker said. “We did a lot of things very well, which helped us control our own destiny.”

Thiessen saved 33 shots for Northeastern, which hasn’t won the Beanpot since 1988 and has failed to advance past the first round in four of the past five years.
