"I knew we could turn their [defense]," Kolarik said. "They were big and slow. I knew Dom would be there."

Moore's goal held up until the Crimson struck again late in the third period, at 15:41. Assistant captain Chris Bala lifted sophomore center Brett Nowak's rebound over the left shoulder of Brown goaltender Brian Eklund. Sophomore Aaron Kim also registered an assist on Bala's goal.

The nail in the coffin came just a few minutes later, when the brother-brother tandem of captain Steve Moore and Dominic caught the Bears off guard. Shorthanded, Dominic forced a turnover in the Bears' zone and Steve fired a slapshot past the surprised Eklund.

The two goals were a culmination of the third period in which Harvard held the edge with tight, aggressive play. Harvard outshot Brown 18-11 in the third.

"We took over in the third," Harvard Coach Mark Mazzoleni said. "We closed the door on them."

Overall there was little offense in the game as Brown settled down after Dominic Moore's first period goal. The Bears were particularly strong in a rough second period, in which seven penalties were called.

"We played okay," Brown Coach Roger Grillo said. "We just didn't create enough scoring chances."
