The goal was set up by senior Don Daigle, who penetrated deep into Big Green territory on the right side. Daigle passed the ball to Juan Betancourt, who dished it off to Luzak on the right side of the net. Luzak proceeded to drill a shot back into the lower left of the net for the 3-1 advantage.

"We got a few breaks, but we made some great plays down the stretch and that is what wins games," Getman said.

Great goaltending also wins games and Harvard certainly had that yesterday.

Senior Scott Salisbury, starting for only the second time this year, came up big for the Crimson, chalking up nine saves on 16 shots against goal.

"Scott has worked tremendously hard in practice, and he had a great game today," Getman said.

While Harvard had the offense and the defense, it also had some luck.

Several Dartmouth shots that were inches away from being goals, only to hit the goal post or just miss to one side.

"I think it could have gone either way, said Dartmouth Coach Bobby Clark, whose team was almost certainly knocked out of the Ivy race with the loss. "We had the better chance, but we have to take them. If you don't take them then you can't complain."

Harvard will have its work cut out for it on Sunday, when it will host the nationally-ranked Indiana Hoosiers at 1 p.m.

"They are obviously coming here to play," said Getman. "We'll give them out best."
