Perhaps the lone bright spot for the Crimson was the play of the senior first line, which has been red-hot all season.
Only four minutes into the game, the line notched Harvard's first score. After receiving a pass from junior defenseman Ashlin Halfnight, senior Kirk Nielsen drove towards the St. Lawrence net. While fighting off a pesky defender, Nielsen held onto the puck until finally laying it off to Konik, who blasted it into the upper left corner past Owen.
After this disastrous loss, the team faces off this afternoon against this season's ECAC killer, Clarkson. The Harvard players have to rebound. But if they don't, it will sure be one long trek home.
