Not all heroes wear capes. Tuesday night at TD Garden, it was a Crimson No. 1 and No. 14 instead. Largely fueled by another exceptional showing in net from Duxbury native Ainsley Tuffy (46 saves), Harvard returned to Women’s Beanpot supremacy by beating Boston University in overtime, 2-1, in the tournament final. Freshman Carla McSweeney scored the game-winning goal 1:17 into the extra period, lifting the Crimson (11-10-1) to their first Beanpot title since 2022 and their 16th overall. Northeastern, which was denied a fourth straight title by the Terriers (7-13-3) in a stunning semifinal loss last week, is tied…

Earlier this offseason, we were all a little surprised to hear that the Red Sox were rumored to be interested in catcher J.T. Realmuto. He’s since resigned with the Phillies, but the Sox are reportedly still interested in upgrading at catcher. While the catching position doesn’t feel like a priority given Carlos Narvaez’s successful rookie campaign, the team may simply see upgrading from Connor Wong as low-hanging fruit. Admittedly, though, there isn’t much catching talent out there right now. (Sean McAdam, MassLive)But the catching spot should take a backseat to upgrading the infield. As of today, it looks like Marcelo…

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has emerged as a prominent figure in this offseason’s NFL coaching search, generating considerable interest not only in head coaching positions but also in offensive coordinator roles. McDaniel was scheduled to interview for the Cleveland Browns head coaching position on Wednesday. Still, he chose to withdraw from consideration for the job, as reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The 42-year-old coach is still in the running for the head coach positions with the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens, while also being considered for a handful of offensive coordinator roles. Many head coaching…
Two new greats will take their place alongside baseball’s immortals in Cooperstown this summer, and if this year’s vote was any indication, several others once thought to be long shots might have a realistic chance in the years to come. Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones have each been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, the museum announced on Tuesday night. The two were the only candidates to receive the necessary 75% of the vote, and they will be inducted on July 26 alongside Jeff Kent, who was elected earlier this month by the Contemporary Era committee. Longtime Red Sox…

The Bruins will try to extend their win streak to seven games on Tuesday in Dallas when they take on the Stars as the players’ siblings trip continues on for the last stop. The Stars are widely recognized as one of the top teams in the league, but they’ve been skidding lately, losers of their last three games and just 2-6-2 in their last 10 games. In net, it will be a matchup of Team USA goalies in Jeremy Swayman and Jake Oettinger. The Winnipeg Jets’ Connor Hellebuyck is considered by some as the incumbent coming off last February’s 4…
By STEPHEN WHYNO, AP Hockey Writer One more goal. That’s how close the U.S. was to beating Canada in the final at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics before losing in overtime. One more goal. That’s how close the U.S. was from tying Canada in the semifinals at the 2014 Sochi Olympics before losing 1-0. One more goal. That’s how close the U.S. was to beating Canada in the final at the 4 Nations Face-Off a year ago before losing in overtime. “Canada won, right?” U.S. center Jack Eichel said. “So, they’re obviously on top.” Canada has won every major international men’s hockey…
The Bill Belichick-era Patriots were all about ignoring the noise. Mike Vrabel’s Patriots handle things a bit differently. In case you missed it, ESPN’s “NFL Live” panel unanimously picked the Houston Texans to beat New England in last Sunday’s divisional-round matchup at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots responded by earning a 28-16 victory and a road date with the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. After the win, receiver Kayshon Boutte, who had one of the biggest plays of the game, used his Instagram story to troll Mina Kimes, Ryan Clark, Hannah Storm, Dan Orlovsky and Marcus Spears. Take a…
Spring training is fast approaching, and the Boston Red Sox’ roster remains filled with question marks. The way the roster is currently constructed suggests that chief baseball officer Craig Breslow will make another trade or two before Opening Day. The Red Sox boast admirable pitching depth, but their lineup leaves plenty to be desired after losing Alex Bregman in free agency. They also must find a solution to their outfield logjam and add at least one reliable left-handed reliever to their bullpen. We should expect multiple moves to be made before pitchers and catchers report to Fort Myers on Feb.…
