"The defense has got to take charge backthere," Body said. "RPI has got a really goodteam, and you know we're going to see them again.We just got to correct our mental mistakes ."
The game did feature many defensive breakdowns,Which one wouldn't expect from a match-up betweentwo top-ten teams.
After captain Sean McCann one-timed a pass fromBaird past RPI goalie Neil Little to put Harvardon the board first, the Engineers responded withtwo goals set up by poor Harvard defensive plays.
Hamelin was left all alone on the first goal,and he beat two Crimson players on the second. Thegoals were practically identical, with Hamelinfaking Harvard netminder Tripp Tracy and thenwrapping the puck around the fallen goalie bothtimes.
However, a determined Baird forced an RPIdefensive turnover to get the momentum back onHarvard's side.
The Engineers were unable to clear the puck outof their zone, and Brian Farrell rebounded homeBody's point shot past Little to even the game at2-2 after one period.
Farrell was in the right place at the righttime again on a second period power play, as heswiped a rebound past Little to put Harvard up,3-2.
RPI tied the game at 3-3 on its thirdconsecutive power-play late in the second, butHarvard won the game in the third.
Harvard will host pesky Union tonight at 7:30(the starting time has been moved back from 7:00).
