Boston College and Northeastern Bring an Aggressive Faceoff to the Beanpot Title

BOSTON -

At 7:38 p.m. (EST) the puck dropped to begin the 2011 Beanpot Championship game between the defending champs, Boston College and Northeastern University in Boston's own TD Garden.

Despite past title games, both teams came out strong giving early hints of an extremely aggressive and defensive game. Four minutes into the first period, BC had a two men advantage as the Huskies Luke Eibler and Drew Ellement were sent to the box with penalties. However, BC couldn't take advantage of the power play the game remained scoreless.

After being called offsides, the Eagles Tommy Cross slides one in the net to make the score 1-0 with 10:48 left in the first period.
