If Harvard is hoping for a repeat performance, however, it may have to do it without two of its best players in the lineup.

Junior center Steve Moore, who is second on the team in scoring with four goals and nine assists, is injured and will likely not dress Friday, although he is hopeful that he will return to the lineup for Saturday's match up with Colgate. Captain Trevor Allman is questionable after suffering a similar injury.

"We're not healthy at the moment," Mazzoleni said. "Allman will be a game time decision and Stevie most likely is out. We've taken Stevie to all kinds of doctors and have done everything for him."

With the absence of Allman and Moore, there will be even more pressure on the freshmen contingent to step up and fill the void.

Specifically, the pressure will be on freshman forward Dominic Moore, Steve 's younger brother, to fill the void along with fellow freshman winger Brett Nowak.

The youngest Moore leads the team in scoring with nine goals and five assists. While Nowak, with four goals and six assists, has fallen slightly behind the team leaders after missing four games with US National team at the World Junior Hockey Championships.

Along with the two freshmen, the Crimson will be looking for a strong performance from junior winger Chris Bala, who has snared four goals and eight assists on the Crimson's top line with the two Moore brothers.
