The Crimson, however, was unable to convert on two consecutive corner kicks as the first extra period ended.
B.U. wasted little time in striking back.
Just a minute into the second overtime, Terrier junior midfielder Kirk Miller barely missed a golden opportunity after juking past Meagher. His shot banged off the right post and rolled left precariously along the goal line, but the Crimson defense was able to knock the ball out of bounds before a Terrier could capitalize on the rebound.
"All I tried to do was give him as little room as possible," Meagher said of the fortuitous roll.
The Crimson's last opportunity came a few minutes later when sophomore midfielder Nick Lenicheck's strike just barely missed the net and bounced off the left goal post.
Even with sophomore midfielder Michael Peller returning back into the game after leaving early on after a violent collision, Harvard was unable to break B.U.'s strong defense and held off for a hard earned 1-1 tie.
Harvard Coach John Kerr was very encouraged by his team's play against a tough B.U. squad.
