The Crimson, struggling through February with a 2-2 mark, broke out of its doldrums at the beginning of the night with one of its most impressive periods of the season.

The iceman rallied four times on goals from Smith and Fusco (number 22, for both of them) and Armstrong and Chiarelli (number four for both of them).

Throw in Rob Ohno's goal at 2:51 of the second period and Harvard was sailing with 5-0 advantage.

B.C. was making the Crimson fireworks possible with currently lackluster play.

"It looks like we weren't prepared, "B.C. Coach Len Cenglarski said, "We practiced hard, but we just didn't come ready to play."

The Eagles were trying to average a 6-6 overtime the earlier this year with the Crimson, which saw Harvard tally three times in the final 10 minutes to earn the deadlock.

In the second period, it appeared that B.C. might just get that measure of satisfaction, as Harvard slowed down and the Eagles took up the aggressor's role.

While Harvard do/ed. B.C. showcased some of its unbelievable offensive talent.

First Ken Hodge, son of the formed Boston Brum great and then Scott Harlow victimized Crimson goalie John Devin.

Devin, a freshman making his first start of the year, played solidly, if inconsistently, recording 23 sayes.

"He played really well," first-string goalie Grant Blair said. "He made the big saves, which is hard when you haven't played much."

Devin, who won in his only substantial relief appearance an St Lawrence, when Blair was struck in the mask), played well in the beginning and end of the game, but struggled when B.C. started to build up some momentum in the middle 20 minutes.

"I started to lose it [confidence] in the second period," the local boy said. "The team helped me get it back by playing well."

"It's a big thing for a kid from Braintree," Coach Cleary said.

After the first two B.C. goals, Cleary's son did something to further shake the young southpaw goalie's confidence.
