That said, I'd be willing to wager that Friday's lethargic performance was a fluke. Whether St. Lawrence simply had a better night, or whether Harvard suffered from a particularly acute case of bus legs, the Crimson simply had a bad game.

Fortunately for the Crimson, it was able to shake it off and come back against a struggling Clarkson squad the following night.

The win was especially sweet, given that the Crimson hasn't secured a victory in Cheel Arena since 1995

"It was a true test of adversity," Dominic Moore said. "I was disappointed with the way our team played last night, but I was very impressed with the way we responded."

Moore himself responded exceedingly well to his own uncharacteristically subpar performance, notching the first three-point night for any Harvard player this season.

Moore grabbed a secondary assist off of Schwefel's wrist shot to put Harvard up 2-1 at 10:29 in the second. Freshman winger Dennis Packard worked through some traffic and put the puck on Schwefel's stick. Schwefel launched the game-winner into Golden Knights netminder Shawn Grant's glove. Grant couldn't hang onto it, allowing the puck to trickle across the line.

The power play also received another much-needed boost, as the Moore brothers combined for the insurance goal with only 34 seconds to play in the second period.

Steve Moore took a shot from outside the crease that bounced off of Grant's pads. Grant couldn't control the rebound, which allowed younger brother Dominic, planted at the bottom of the right face-off circle, to wrist a shot past Grant.
