"We played extremely lethargic for two periods," Mazzoleni said. "We played a better third, but you sure don't deserve to win a hockey game when you only play one out of three periods."
DiPietro was on his game in the third, using his lightening-quick reflexes to save a number of Harvard shots that could have sent the game in to extra minutes.
On a power play six minutes into the third, sophomore defenseman Peter Capouch dished a shot to Scorsune, who looked to nab his second point of the night with another shot from the point. But DiPietro quickly got his glove up to hold the Crimson at bay.
And though the Crimson had trouble getting the breakouts they needed to create offense, they had a few key attempts.
Possibly the best opportunity for the Crimson came at 14:43. Allman picked off the puck in the offensive zone and found himself one-on-one with DiPietro. B.U. breathed a collective sigh of relief as Allman's slap shot went wide.
"We had the lead and we laid back a little bit," Parker said. "Sometimes you lay back a little too much and you give up chances."
Even with the numerous chances the Crimson had in the third, B.U. held the upper hand and broke Harvard's eight-game winning streak at Bright Arena.
