The fact that Harvard held the Brown offense, which entered the game
averaging over four goals per game, to just one score was the difference in the game.
Unlike the last time Harvard played Brown, when the Crimson let a 4-1 third period lead evaporate and had to settle for a 4-4 tie, the Harvard defense
did a fair job of staving off the Bears in the late-going.
Even though Shewchuk, who had three penalties in the game, went to the box twice in the third period, Brown managed just six shots on net in the final twenty minutes.
"The team played really solid defense," said Botterill. "Overall, everyone played a smart game of hockey."
Despite the loss, Brown still occupies first place in the ECAC, leading the fourth-place Crimson in the standings by four points. With just four
league games remaining on the schedule for both squads, Harvard will need to compile a string of victories and hope that Brown losses at least two of its remaining games to have a chance at the conference title.
