"I've had the chances," the sophomore said. "It was just a matter of time. I don't know where the shot went, but I saw the light and I was estactic".

Two B.C. comeback goals and the schools were knotted halfway through, the final period.

Then the Crimson fourth, line, scoreless in the first four games, struck. Andy Janfaza dug the puck out of the corner and sent a beautiful feed to Pete Chiarelli in the crease, who stuffed the puck home to give Harvard a 4-3 advantage.

But just 31 seconds later, at 13:34, Eagle Kevin Stevens tucked home a rebound and the game was knotted again.

The Crimson had the best of the overtime and almost scored when Captain Scott Fusco wheeled in and smacked the cross bar from a right angle.
