Luckily for the Crimson, junior defenseman Peter Zaremba intercepted a Hobart pass as the Statesmen were trying to work the ball down to their offensive end of the field. He raced on a fast-break all the way to the Hobart net and scored--putting Harvard ahead 5-4 with 3:57 to go in the third quarter.

The fourth quarter opened with first the Statesmen and then the Crimson operating out of ineffective offensive sets. Harvard senior goalkeeper Keith Cynar was particularly impressive, making multiple saves early in the fourth quarter.

After the Crimson squandered a man-advantage situation, Hobart sophomore attackman Scott Harvey scored on a one-timer from senior defenseman Chris Rogers to tie the game, 5-5.

To add insult to injury, Harvard was called for a one-minute penalty for unnecessary roughness just as the Statesmen scored.

The Crimson penalty-killing unit came up strong denying Hobart a score and Cynar made some more crucial saves.

"Keith was great today," Anderson said. "He is such a strength for us and our defense does a really good job of playing to that strength."

After Harvard killed the penalty, it cleared the ball and went back to its set offense but, as usual yesterday, could only find the back of the net on the fly.
