Saves: SLU--Heffler 20-12-8 40; Har--Prestifilippo 8-8-14 30.

Power Play: SLU--1/6; Har--0/3.

Attendance: 2,400 second period, it was the Crimson's own undoing that led to the game's first goal.

In a draw to the left of Prestifilippo--which saw both original face-off men tossed from the circle--wingers Dana Mulvihill and Adams were summoned. Mulvihill was the quick draw and pushed the face-off forward past Adams and let loose a wrister past Prestifilippo. This unheard of turn of events put the Crimson down, but the next mistake may have put them out.

Thirty-six seconds into the final period, an errant Crimson pass across its own blueline set Golden Knight sophomore Matt Reid up perfectly to go the distance and knock in his seventh goal of the season and Clarkson's second of the contest.

"When you play these guys they are big and strong and they play that grinding style so you have to be patient," said Harvard Coach Ronn Tomassoni. "We've got to be able to grind with them and I thought for the most part we did."

Harvard freshman Chris Bala saved Harvard from the shutout with four minutes remaining in the game with a wrap-around tally, but the goal did nothing but avoid the donut.

"By getting our first goal we still had time," Tomassoni said. "They gave us an opportunity to win the game. We just didn't execute as much as we wanted, but still we had a chance."

Clarkson's Chris Clarke put a feather in his cap and put the game away with his 100th career point at the 2:57 mark. His blast from the right face-off circle earned him a standing ovation from the Cheel Arena crowd and effectively demoralized the Crimson corps.

"I thought that we had a pretty solid defensive game up until about 10-and-a-half minutes to go in the third and at that point we made a few mental errors that got us off kilter," Morris said. "But as soon as Clarke scored we regained our composure and put it away from there."

A fitting end came with a Clarkson empty netter with 15 seconds left on the game clock. Once again it was a careless Harvard pass across its own zone which allowed Clarke to seal the game at 4-1.

Harvard 3, St. Lawrence 1

Already with an unexpected loss strapped to their backs, the Harvard players begrudgingly moved on to Appleton Arena--the site of three straight Harvard defeats to St. Lawrence.

After one period, however, Harvard was a revitalized team that launched 20 shots on Saints' netminder Eric Heffler.
