Hughes did record some crucial saves in thegame, including one in the second period withHarvard ahead, 2-0. Cornell's Doug Derraugh passedthe puck to Chris Grenier, who was cutting infront of the net.
All Grenier saw was Chuckie.
Even when Cornell rushed the length of ice forseveral three-on-two situations, Harvard'sforwards either skated back into the zone or theCrimson's defensemen hounded the Big Red playerwith the puck so he couldn't pass effectively.
Harvard's scoring barrage even had a touch ofmagic. When John Weisbrod lost his stick on theice in the third period, he quickly asked theHarvard bench for the stick. The first player tooffer was Allen Bourbeau, who had scored 12 pointsin his last three games.
Using the stick that propelled Bourbeau to thetop of the ECAC scoring chart, Weisbrod tipped ina rebound at the 11:02 mark of the final period togive Harvard a 7-1 lead.
"Al said from the bench that he wanted anassist for giving me the stick," Weisbrod said."The stick was a foot too short and had the wronglie, but it worked out."
