"I don't think there was any history on our minds," junior winger Chris Bala said. "We came out hard and things are finally starting to go our way."

Things certainly went Bala's way this weekend.

Yale winger Jay Quenville took a point-blank range outside of the crease that rebounded into a two-on-one break for the Crimson. Freshman center Dominic Moore led the rush down the right wing with Bala charging down the middle.

Moore slid a pass to Bala who cut in on Hanger, beautifully faking to his backhand and tucking the eventual game-winner inside the right post to put the Crimson up 3-1.

This was a far cry from last week when it was Bala's point-blank shot that ricocheted into a Golden Knight two-on-one that produced the deciding goal.

Harvard made it clear as early as 3:39 into the first period that it was going to seize full control of Saturday's contest, as Dominic Moore posted his 12th career goal to put the Crimson up 1-0.

Just four seconds after Yale winger John Gauger's tripping infraction expired, junior winger Steve Moore sent a cross-ice pass to linemate Scott

Turco at the right circle. Turco fanned on his attempt, but Dominic Moore scooped up the puck and fired a wrist shot under Hanger's glove.
