Despite the Crimson's offensive inconsistency, B.U.'s sloppy passing and poor shooting in the second period kept Harvard in the game heading into the third.

At the ten-minute mark of the third period, however, Baker put the game away for B.U. with his second goal of the evening to give the Terriers a 2-0 advantage.

Capitalizing on a 2-on-1, junior center Carl Corazzini waited for the Harvard defender to go down, took a step and then rifled a pass to a streaking Baker who redirected it past Prestifilippo's outstretched blocker.

The Terriers' second goal came just as the Crimson were showing signs of life.

After a sluggish start to the third period with penalties to both teams that interrupted the flow of the game, Harvard looked once again as though it was about to tie the game at 1-1 after a pair of good odd-man rushes.

Just as Harvard was finding its legs, however, the wind was taken out the team's sails on an opportunistic rush just after Harvard junior center Steve Moore nearly tied the game on excellent scoring chance of his own.

"Tonight we worked hard," Dominic Moore said. "We just didn't get any bounces."

Although the second goal probably put the game out of reach for the low-scoring Crimson, B.U. added an insurance goal on the power play with just over three minutes remaining in regulation to put the Terriers up 3-0.
