But Holy Cross managed to get lucky on one of their few strikes in Crimson territory.
The Crusaders evened the score at 1-1 when freshman midfielder Matt Ney gained possession of a cross from senior teammate Nicholas Vuono and pushed it pass Harvard goalkeeper Mike Meagher at the 73:07 mark.
"We had a lot of chances today," head coach John Kerr said. "But we couldn't put them away when we had the opportunity."
The Crimson earned two corners in the following five minutes, but was unable to convert.
Its last best chance of the regulation period came after being awarded a free kick just outside the goal box. A Crusader defender tripped Petruccelli, setting up the kick for the Crimson.
Senior forward Will Hench, who played a consistent and solid game, fired a laser towards the upper right corner, but senior Crusader goalkeeper Chuck Chiesa made a great save to prevent what would have been the game-winner.
"This game was typical of our season," captain Ryan Kelly said. "It always seems as if we get an unlucky break. I feel that we definitely outplayed them and should have won."
