Lamby blasted home two consecutive tallies from his left point spot, only 31 seconds apart, to make it 6-1 after only 2:22 of the third. LeBlond then closed the pregnant scorebook with a slapshot tally from the right at 16:57.

Harvard now finds itself with a 12-13 overall record with absolutely no chance to make the ECAC playoffs which start next week. As for the final melees, who started them doesn't matter, what does is that those violent outbursts disgraced an otherwise prestigious tournament and doled out an excess amount of shame that will be both schools' to bear. Unfortunately, Boston University will have the playoffs to get over it, Harvard won't. An unmerciful season has all but mercifully closed.

In the "Who Cares?" consolation clash between Boston College and Northeastern which proceeded the Harvard game, it took a Joe Mullen wrister off a pass from Paul Barrett at 3:53 of overtime to give the Eagles a 3-2 decision over the Huskies and third place in the tournament.
