McManama cited the first period, when St. Lawrence grabbed a 4-1 lead, as brutal.
"We were awful," McManama said. "It seemed we could've pulled out, but we dug a deeper hole for ourselves. We didn't pull together."
"Against Cornell, we played like a team..." Suurkask said. "But on Sunday, we didn't put a team effort in."
Dunn agreed that Sunday was closer to a Harvard loss than a St. Lawrence win.
"We made them look good," Dunn said. "It was a rough game. We didn't play like we were capable of [playing]. It seemed like nothing would go our way."
"It was an issue of not coming ready to play," McManama said. "It was evident in warm-ups. But we can learn a lot from it."
Dunn added an upbeat postscript to the St. Lawrence debacle.
"You always have one of these games every year," Dunn said. "It's good to get this one over with."
