With the Bruins applying the pressure in Harvard's end, the Crimson defense got careless for one of the few times and forgot to clear the puck in front of Petrovek. Charest then took control and squared things at three all.
So now there were ten minutes left and this was a hockey game. Mentum returned to his accustomed location, everyone else held his/her collective breath and then five minutes down the blue line the Crimson got a break.
First one Bruin was sent to the penalty box, and while Harvard didn't capitalize this time around, it did a minute later. On Brown's second successive no-no, Harvard's elder (George) Hughes gave the puck to Hozack, positioned behind the Brown net to Laycock's left.
As the goalie concentrated on Hozack, the senior center sent the disc across the goal mouth to Garrity, a freshman, who somehow controlled it on the other side of the crease and tipped it past a not-yet-turned-around Laycock.
For the Crimson, an important triumph in an excellent game, for Mentum, just another day's work. Harvard now gets set for tomorrow night's contest at Boston College, when Mentum will again be in attendance. Where old Mo sits, however has not yet been determined.
