After the Cougars regained the lead nine minutes later, Kohler evened the scoring with less than 14 minutes to go by blasting junior T.J. Carella's pass into the right corner of the net.
From that point on the Crimson again dominated the action, but could not come up with the game-winner to show for it.
Vrionis at one point knocked in a shot that appeared to cross the goal line, but it was waved off by the referee, despite Harvard's protests.
"We played really well," said junior Kevin Silva. "We showed we could play with anyone in the nation. [Not winning] is always upsetting, but you take away what you can."
Kohler feels all the team needs is more time to gell as a unit.
"We need to work on our overall movement as a team, because we hardly get the amount of practice time [as other teams]," he said. "When we do, we will get stronger together."
