Terriers Threatened
The Terriers threatened to run away with the game when Larry Davenport and Gray combined on a successful breakaway against Gurry at 4:08.
But Harvard fought back on goals by Barry Johnson and Mueller at 10:51 and 12:13.
Jack Turco picked up a blocked pass from Smith at the blue line, skated in and passed to Johnson, whose shot from the corner of the crease bounced off McCann into the nets.
Mueller's tally was a work of art. Mark stickhandled through the B.U. defense and passed back to Smith at the point. Smith skimmed the puck in to Mueller, who picked up the goal's lower left corner with a deadeye shot from six feet.
The Terriers tied the game for the last time with less than three minutes remaining in the period. Hyndman let loose a slap shot which John Cooke tipped in behind his back.
Diercks stopped a breakaway by Wright as the buzzer sounded, and the third period belonged to Harvard.
Harvard's junior goalie was brilliant all evening, registering 28 saves and with-standing heavier pressure than the Crimson mounted against McCann. The B.U. goalie stopped 25 Harvard shots.
