Senior goaltender Oli Jonas picked up much of the defensive slack, holding the Terriers' to only one goal during a two-man advantage at 8:47 in the second that lasted almost two full minutes.

"Our goaltender has done an excellent job overall," Mazzoleni said. "He's posting astronomical numbers for us, especially since we're a team that's still growing."

However, Jonas caught a few breaks in the third period.

"We should have had five goals in the last five minutes of the game," Parker said.

With just over seven minutes to play, B.U. forward Scott Perry tried to fake a forehand shot to bring the Terriers within one. With Jonas down and clearly beaten, Perry choked on the play, and watched the puck roll off his stick, just inches from the goalpost.

And with just under two minutes to play, B.U.'s Jay Pandolfo kicked away a pass from Terriers' captain Carl Corazzini after he had Jonas beaten.

"We're paying for it badly in our inability to finish off," Parker said. "Perry had an open net, pulled the goalie out and shot it wide, and Pandolfo had an open net and mishandled it."

All in all, Harvard was fortunate to pick up a victory over its struggling cross-town rival. Unseating B.U. at Walter Brown Arena is not something to take lightly, and should do wonders for the Crimson's burgeoning confidence.
