Harvard 4, Colgate 2
Harvard intended to capitalize on the momentumfrom the previous night's amazing comeback. TheCrimson wanted to put a likely demoralized Colgateteam away early and avoid a Sunday game.
The Crimson accomplished exactly what itwanted, opening up a three goal lead, but Colgatewas not about to board the team bus back toHamilton, NY. However, Prestifilippo had nointention of letting his team play Sunday either.
Referee Alex Dell picked up right where he leftoff Friday, calling every single infraction, nomatter how minor. Harvard did likewise, strikingon the power play, but this time on a more normal5-on-4 advantage.
Freshman Chris Bala, showing no signs of thethumb injury suffered Friday, opened the scoringon the power play just 3:47 into the first. Heintercepted a Colgate pass at the blueline andtrickled a shot through Brenzavich's legs on thebreak-away.
Brenzavich limited the Crimson to just one goalfor the first period, but Scorsune struck on thepower play at of the second on a shot throughtraffic from the right faceoff circle.
"The game was called pretty tight, but ourspecial teams were excellent," Tomassoni said. "Iwas even more pleased tonight because we did it onthe five-on-four."
Harvard's third goal was not only thegame-winner, but the prettiest of the weekend.
