Junior Jack Harvey scored his ninth goal of the season off assists by sophomore Cole Eiserman and freshman Ben Merrill.
BU has won a record 32 Beanpot titles and boasts an all-time Beanpot record of 96-48, including a 34-13 mark against Northeastern.

Sophomore Mikhail Yegorov is the reigning Eberly Award winner after stopping 69 of 71 shots at last year's tournament.
This is the first time since 2019 that the Terriers' starting goaltender for the opening round is not making his Beanpot debut.
BU is third in the nation and first in Hockey East with seven shorthanded goals this season.
After going 5-for-5 on the PK against BC on Friday, the Terriers enter Monday ranked 12th in the nation and third in Hockey East on the penalty kill at 85.1%.
The Terriers already have one win at an NHL rink this season, as they defeated Cornell, 2-1, at Madison Square Garden in the 10th edition of Red Hot Hockey.
