"This win was all those eighteen skaters outthere," Prestifilippo said. "They went out thereand laid it on the line for sixty minutes. We paidthe price all over the ice and it showed on thescoreboard. And that's nice."

Harvard 5, Princeton 3

If Harvard makes any noise in the ECAC duringthe remainder of the regular season or in thepostseason, remember the second period fromSaturday night.

For one period, Harvard showed its fullpotential. It skated well up and down the ice,banged along the boards and physically dominatedone of the conference's best teams, which up untiltwo weeks ago was ranked in the U.S. CollegeHockey Online Top 10.

The Crimson parlayed its advantage into asurprising four-goal outburst to take a 4-1 leadand held on in the third period to win 5-3.

"We started the game a little slow," Adamssaid. "We were really able to pour it on in thesecond and take the play to them."

Fitting the rare offensive explosion, the goalthat started it all was the rarest of scores forthe Crimson--a power play goal. Harvard had notconverted on its previous 29 power play attempts.Tomassoni had tried every possible combination ofplayers and schemes, with different units actuallyplaying entirely different power play formations.

At 1:42 on the second, it finally clicked.Morrell received the puck at the left point andskated to the middle. His shot deflected off aPrinceton defender and past well-screened freshmanTiger goaltender Dave Stathos to tie the score,1-1.

"We moved the puck really well on the powerplay," captain Craig Adams said. "We were gettinga lot of chances and it had to go in sooner orlater.

Adams gave his team the lead it would neverrelinquish.

With both teams skating four aside, all theplayers except Adams were bunched on the left sideof the ice in the neutral zone. Sophomoredefenseman Liam McCarthy hit Adams with across-ice pass and the captain hurried the puck into the zone, stopping in the right face-off circleand blasting it by Stathos at 12:55.

"Liam gave me a great pass," Adams said. "Ijust closed my eyes, teed it up and hoped for thebest."

McCarthy received his first career point withthe primary assist on Adams' goal.

"Liam's seen a lot more ice time lately andhe's deserved it," Tomassoni said. "He's beenplaying very, very well."

Chodorow picked up his second goal of theweekend with an unassisted strike at 14:21, andfreshman forward Jeff Stonehouse notched his fifthof the season by one-timing a Millar pass fivehole to finish the Harvard deluge with 55 secondsremaining.
