Men's Hockey Drops to No. 4 New Hampshire, 4-1

"Jonas has seen over 30 shots a game," Harvard Coach Mark Mazzoleni said. "His performance tonight is pretty much what he's given us all year."

UNH's defense, the centerpiece of the Wildcats' game plan, contained much of Harvard's sporadic offense.

UNH ran a trap at its blueline that held the sporadic Crimson offense at bay and left UNH goalie Conklin largely unattended.

Captain Steve Moore and rookie linemate Dennis Packard were responsible for Harvard's few bright spots.

At 5:25 in the third, Moore weaved his way through the neutral zone, dished the puck to Packard from the left circle. Packard was perched at the crease but a Wildcats' defenseman interfered to send the puck out of play.

With four minutes to go, Moore and Packard combine for another attempt to stuff the puck across the goal line, but Conklin was prepared to make the save.

The Wildcats' put the puck on net 14 times in the opening stanza, while Harvard could must only a meager three shots on goal.
