A four-year Beanpot participant in the BC Class of 2009, Fardelmann played on the first winning squad in 2006 — scoring the GWG in the opening round and setting up the GW in the final — and then earned Beanpot MVP honors in 2007 when she had five points overall and three goals in the championship game.

In that time, Dooley’s teams advanced to the championship game 11 times, winning three times (1982, 1983 and 1992). Three Crimson standouts from the Dooley Era rank in the tournament’s Top 20 in scoring (and in Harvard’s Top 10.) A former successful Massachusetts boys’ high school (Dedham H.S.), Dooley compiled a career mark of 162-115-1 behind the Harvard bench. Jessica Wagner was a member of three Women’s Beanpot championship teams during her four-year career on Huntington Ave. A native of Anoka, Minnesota, Wagner enjoyed Beanpot success in 1994, 1996 and 1997. She was the Beanpot MVP as a junior in 1996 and was a co-captain on the Huskies’ 1997 champs. Wagner, who had Bean- pot stats of 7-6-13 in nine Beanpot games, scored both the GTG and GWG in NU’s 4-3 OT win over BC in the 1996 final. The women’s Beanpot Hall of Fame was established in 2008, during the tournament’s 30th anniversary.
