With the ensuing faceoff deep in the Princeton zone, Harvard pulled its goalie to even it up at five-skaters a-piece. But Princeton junior forward Ethan Doyle potted an empty net goal at 18:58 from center ice to seal the victory.
"They got a powerplay and we had to score at that time," Mazzoleni said. "We tried to create the offense we wanted but it just didn't work."
Despite the Tiger's two late goals, Harvard controlled the tempo of the game in the third period, out shooting Princeton 17-5.
Down 2-1 after two, Harvard came out hitting in third and had a number of chances to find the equalizer early in the third.
With emotions running high after Princeton senior forward Benoit Morin drilled senior winger Matt Macleod from behind after the whistle, captain Trevor Allman found sweet revenge on the ensuing play.
Redirecting a point shot from senior defenseman Matt Scorsune, Allman poked the shot through the five-hole of Stathos who was coming out to cut the angle.
"Emotions were high on both teams," Allman said. "It's a strong rivalry and we had to do something. Off the forecheck we worked hard and I redirected it in from the point."
