The sophomore forward on Fusco's Firing Line skated to within 10-ft. of the Eagle net, but despite a hard pump on goal could not work the puck past Gordon.

B.C. came storming back three minutes later. Eagle Captain Scott Harlow took a pass near the blue line and charged to within 6-ft. of the Crimson net where, one-on-one with Blair, he flicked it past the senior netminder to give Boston College an insurmountable 3-0 lead.

The Eagles powered for yet another goal with just over three minutes remaining in the first period.

Harlow took a pass from McLean on the right side of the Crimson net and shoveled the puck past Blair for a 4-0 advantage.

The two teams battled through a scoreless second period before Fusco's two scores at 15:30 and 18:42 of the third stanza prevented Harvard from falling victim to a shutout for the first time in its 35 years of Beanpot participation.
