Harvard now faces its biggest test of the year to date. It will travel to Boston University tomorrow before hosting No. 2 Boston College on Saturday.
Harvard 3, Colgate 2
With both teams having traded goals in the third period to leave Harvard with a 2-1 lead, Kolarik notched the game-winning goal for the Crimson on a breakaway at 15:07 of the third period.
Colgate turned the puck over high in the Harvard defensive zone, and junior winger Jared Cantanucci found Kolarik heading up ice ahead of the pack. Kolarik beat Cann for his first collegiate goal.
The goal was a bit of a milestone for the highly touted rookie as he has had plenty of chances in his first four games, but had only been able to find iron.
"I knew Cantanucci had the puck and Nucc knew I was cutting," Kolarik said. "He made a nice pass to me and the rest was easy."
Jonas and Colgate backup goaltender Dave Cann put on a duel for the first two periods, with Jonas stopping all 17 Red Raider shots and Cann nabbing 14 of 15, with only sophomore center Brett Nowak beating him at 1:45 of the first period.
