The momentum was now clearly with the Friars as the Crimson struggled to hang on. Harvard continued to fight valiantly, warding off numerous Providence attacks. The Crimson was even able to muster a few chances of its own, but it was to no avail as regulation ended with the score deadlocked at two.

It would not remain tied for long, however, as the Friars put together the game-winning goal just 1:26 into the first period in sudden-death overtime.

A long Providence goal kick deflected off of a Harvard defender and into the possession of a Providence midfielder who sent a lead pass to Jones. Meagher and Jones raced after the ball, but the Crimson goaltender was a step too slow as Jones beat him to the ball and sent a roller into a wide open net for the victory. Jones was mobbed by teammates as the Crimson slumped over in a stunned silence.

Harvard will now look to rebound quickly, as it now takes on Creighton--a national powerhouse--on Friday afternoon at Ohiri Field. Despite the heartbreaking loss to the Friars, the Crimson is optimistic about its chances.

"Today was a good test for us," Kerr said. "We have a tough game [Friday], but if our ball possession is a little better, I think we have a good chance."
