Harvard wasn't without its scoring chances too in sudden death overtime, but this game was fated to be a 65-minute stalemate. A tie, however, leaves a taste in the mouth something like the feeling of using someone else's toothbrush on accident, and is especially frustrating considering that the Crimson arguably outplayed the Saints in every period of the game.
"I feel we outplayed them for the whole 65 minutes," sophomore right winger Clayton Rodgers said. "Everyone was going straight to the wall, and we were doing all the little things which haven't been there for the past few games. We definitely deserved to win."
Part of Harvard's fire last night could perhaps be explained by the way the team has been practicing as of late.
"Battling in practice and really working hard -- you start to develop a chemistry with the players ... and it started to show tonight," Storey said.
Hopefully the Crimson will carry its momentum into its next crucial ECAC matchup tomorrow night against Clarkson.
