Men's Hockey Loses Two Straight, Eliminated

The Engineers finally broke the ice on their second man-up. A soft shot from the left point deflected to a patient Murley. The freshman tucked it just inside the right post at 7:19.

"We knew all along that they had a dangerous power play," Tomassoni said. "We have to work on not giving them too many chances."

The Crimson had its chance to tie up the game on the power play. A slashing call to Gardiner gave Harvard a 55-second five-on-three advantage.

The Engineers killed it perfectly, holding the Crimson to outside bombs by senior defenseman Ben Storey and Scorsune. Laing never allowed a rebound and stopped all 35 Crimson shots for the shutout.

Despite Harvard's high shot total, the Engineers did an excellent job all game of keeping the Crimson to the outside in the offensive zone and swept away the rare second chances Laing gave.

"[Laing] was coverng his angles on rebounds well," Moore said. "He played very well, but I thought we could have gotten a quicker jump on the puck."

On a night when the Crimson attempted 73 shots, but found the net on less than half, Harvard's best chance to tie it up may have been a whiff.
