Boston University's inability to convert its chances has been the major contributor to the Terriers' 2-6-1 overall start this year.

"We are inept, anemic at finishing our five-on-five, four-on-four chances," B.U. Coach Jack Parker said. "The players are definitely talking to themselves. If this keeps up, we are going to have to take away their belts and neckties."

Only captain Carl Corazzini could find the back of the net for the Terriers after Kolarik's mark. Harvard had taken a too many men on the ice penalty, and Corazzini made it pay with a great breakaway rush created off a neutral zone turnover. Corazzini beat Jonas at 17:51 of the third period to add some drama to the game's final minutes.

The Terriers had a couple of chances to even the score, including a shot that whizzed by Jonas as time expired. The goalie had earned his luck, however, as he turned in another outstanding performance for the Crimson. His save percentage now stands at a superb .938.

He made a spectacular stop on junior center Dan Cavanaugh in the final minute of the first period. After an initial save that pulled him way out of his crease, Cavanaugh appeared to have a clear shot at the net with the puck to Jonas' right. With Dominik Hasek-like creativity, Jonas whipped his glove hand behind him and stuffed the shot.

"I just got a little lucky on that one," Jonas said.

The Crimson power play bailed out the defense during a game in which the Terriers controlled play from essentially the second period onward. The struggling unit attempted to simplify its strategy and use its strength to crash the net and get rebounds. It worked as two of Harvard's four goals were shots that initially bounced off Tapp.
