Chad Deering pushed the score to 5-1 just 1:07 into the second period and Ken Snow tallied his fourth goal seven minutes later as the Indiana defense closed down the Crimson attack.

"The difference was [the Hoosiers] were taking their shots well--almost all of them were on goal--and they were following everything up," Getman said.

Indeed, Indiana netted four of its goals off rebounds, as Salisbury and late-game replacement Jamie Reilly made the initial saves but just couldn't hold onto the ball.

Salisbury did have a few flashes of brilliance--including back-to-back saves on Dean Kapsalis and Matt Isger shots at the close of the first half--but the game will certainly not help his goals-against average.

"We're a really young team," Salisbury said. "This game is really going to teach us a lot."

THE NOTEBOOK: The Hoosiers closed out the scoring with 11:52 remaining in the game when Kapsalis sent a Rob Carlso rebound past a not-yet-recovered Reilly...D'Onofrio and Mills are now tied atop the Crimson scoring list with seven points apiece...Harvard will face the Stanford Cardinal Wednesday at 3 p.m. at Ohiri Field.
