He added his second goal of the evening nine minutes later after pounding a rebound of the Krayer shot past Cowley.

Colgate center Doug Davis closed the gap to 4-2 with nine minutes gone in the last period when his shot from 40 feet on the right eluded McEvoy's outstretched mitt. But McEvoy shut down the Raiders thereafter.

"He played super," Cleary said of the senior goalie. "They had some good opportunities and he came up real big on some hard shots. He's learning to let them play him before he plays them. He sometimes overreacts because he's so darned quick."

McDonald finished the Crimson scoring with less than two minutes left in the game and Harvard--after a Butch Cutone elbowing penalty--a man down when he stole a Colgate pass at center ice and broke in all alone on the Raider goalie.

It was MacDonald's team-leading eighth goal of the year and his second short-handed goal.

"I did a lot of work over the summer," MacDonald said. "I shot a lot of pucks. I guess that explains some of my success. Things just started off well this year. Sometimes I don't play well and I still get two goals."

The real hero of last night's game, however, was Young who pounded home his first goals in a Crimson jersey. At 5-ft., 10-in., he is built like Smith, who is now playing professional hockey in Austria. But in Harvard's first six games, he hadn't been scoring like Smith.

"The guys have been giving me plenty of chances," Young said. "I just haven't been able to put it in."

That changed last night.
