The 15 goals were the most ever scored in the consolation game...
Unfortunately, the Crimson couldn't bring the same effort to the table last night against B.C. in the opening round of the 49th annual Beanpot Tournament. The Eagles dominated the majority of playing time and downed the Crimson 4-1, proving once again why they are No. 2 in the nation...
