#8 Terriers earned a spot in the Beanpot final with a shootout win over #3 Northeastern Tuesday night after the teams had played to a 3-3 tie following regulation and overtime.

BU trailed in the shootout, 1-0, after two rounds, but Nara Elia scored to keep the Terriers alive. Then in a fourth round, Reagan Rust ripped a shot past NU’s Aerin Frankel for the victory.

In regulation, BU came from behind three times on goals by MacKenna Parker, Sammy Davis and Jesse Compher. Corinne Schroeder stopped 31 shots, along with three of four shootout attempts.  BU extended its best-in-the nation unbeaten streak to nine games (7-0-2) and will face Harvard in next Tuesday’s championship game.
