Sophomore defenseman Peter Capouch cashed in Harvard's second goal less than five minutes later, netting a slapshot from the top of the right

circle off a pass from Captain Trevor Allman, extending the Crimson's lead to two.

Yale center Spencer Rodgers cut Harvard's lead in half by redirecting center Ben Stafford's shot from outside the right circle past senior goaltender J.R. Prestifilippo at 14:00--with just one second left on its power play.

The Elis made a slight charge at the start of the second period, but the play evened out for most of the second half until freshman winger Brett Nowak stripped the puck back down low from Bulldog defenseman John Gauger, who had just stole the puck from him.

Nowak took the puck to the goal, but Hanger stopped him, leaving a rebound that senior winger Matt Macleod put home.

There was considerable argument from the Eli bench after the goal, arguing either that Macleod was in the crease or referee Dan Murphy should've blown the play dead because Nowak had crashed into Hanger.

Murphy, however, never blew his whistle and allowed the goal to stand, bringing the score to 4-1.
