As Harvard went on the power play with 6:45 left in the game, Tomassoni called timeout to assemble his troops.
"I wanted them to keep holding the puck in deep but to take no chances, since I thought this would be the last power play that we would get," Tomassoni said.
Appropriately, it was Konik that came screaming up the right side of the ice during this power play. Cory Gustafson looked a foot offsides as Konik crossed the blue line, but Konik fired the puck past Murphy to tie the game at three.
Clarkson head coach Mark Morris and the 3.285 rabid Clarkson fans protested, but to no avail.
"We got a bad break last night, but we get a good one tonight," Konik said.
Harvard continued their dominance into overtime, while the defensive Golden Knights appeared to be playing for the tie. Such an ending seemed evident, until, with less than a minute to play in the extra period, Konik found Cohagan from the right wing on a centering pass for the game-winning goal.
"We knew that they were hanging by a thread," Cohagan said. "We knew we just had to keep doing what we were doing."
"This was by far our best effort of the season," Tomassoni said. "We came out, showed grit, came out at them consistently and didn't let up. We were that much more focused in all phases of the game."
