Prestifilippo took his game to another level in the second period, turning away 18-of-19 shots as the Crimson attack stalled and quickly spun into a free fall.

Outshot 19-2 in the second period, the Harvard forwards could not put together a solid rush as the team bogged down in the neutral zone before reaching the N.U. blueline.

The Crimson did not register a shot on goal between the midway-point of the second period and the 14-minute mark of the third.

Despite the anemic offensive performance, Harvard was able to hold on to an early two-goal lead for the Beanpot victory.

With the Crimson already up 1-0 in the first period, the Huskies looked as though they might find the equalizer before junior center Steve Moore pocketed what turned out to be the game-winner at 13:34 of the first.

Moore accepted a quick pass from senior winger Scott Turco, who was fighting for the puck in the corner. Moore walked in all alone, faked as if to backhand it in the short-side, then switched to his forehand and slid the puck in the far side past N.U. goaltender Mike Gilhooly, who had left the far side of the net open.

Harvard opened the scoring early in the first on a goal from captain Trevor Allman, assisted by senior wingers Brett Chodorow and Matt Macleod.
