When the second quarter ended, Harvard was up 4-3.
Both Harvard and Brown stepped up their games in the third quarter, and the added defense kept scoring at bay.
The teams struggled with each other's offenses, and not until 5:49 into the quarter did freshmen two-meter man Todd Schulte pop one in past Brown goalie Mike McGaraghan.
Schulte's goal widened the Crimson's lead to 5-3
Harvard junior Mike Crosby led the Crimson into the fourth quarter, closing the door on the chances of a Bears come back.
After a series of unsuccessful passes, Crosby fired a shot past McGaraghan and widened the Crimson's lead to 6-3.
Brown retaliated with two more goals in the fourth, but it was Harvard junior Sean Cheng's goal, off a pass from Alex Fisher with 2:40 in the game that cemented the win for the Crimson.
