Huskies celebrate third straight Women’s Beanpot title, 20th overall before record TD Garden crowd

The only thing more certain than a cold and snowy winter in New England is Northeastern University winning the Beanpot.

The Huskies won the women’s championship for the third straight year and 20th time overall Tuesday night, shutting out Boston University, 4-0, before 13,279 fans at TD Garden.

The crowd was the largest to ever watch a women’s hockey game in New England — breaking last year’s Women’s Beanpot record of 10,633 — and the fifth largest in women’s college hockey history.

Lisa Jönsson, a freshman from Stockholm, Sweden, made 30 saves for the Huskies (15-8-1). Including Northeastern’s 4-2 semifinal win over Boston College, she stopped 65 of 67 shots to earn tournament MVP honors and the Bertagna Award as the best goalie.

“I’m out of words, it was just so amazing,” Jönsson said. “I was nervous before the game, but I got really encouraged by the crowd instead of getting nervous. I felt like they had our backs the whole way and the team was just awesome. … It was really a team effort tonight.”

Skylar Irving, Lily Shannon, Jade Bogden and Lily Yovetich scored the goals, while Bogden and Tory Mariano both had two assists. Kristina Allard, Jules Constantinople and Irving — celebrating her 22nd birthday — also had assists.
