Trouble began in the third period when the Crimson barely managed to keep the play even, despite converting on two of its three shots in the frame.

DeVries got his third at 3:33 and Primm got his second at the three-minute mark to push the score to 9-8 in favor of the Crimson.

But Janowicz got his first with only 1:39 left to lock the score, and struck two minutes later to seal the game.

The third period was illustrative of the day, if not instructive for the Crimson's remaining games.

Minutemen goalie Chris Campolettano entered the game with a 9.09 GAA and a .562 save percentage. Compared with Cynar, who is second in the NCAA with a .662 save percentage, Campolettano is one of the weaker goalies the Crimson will face all year.

The UMass netminder gave up 21 goals against No. 3 Loyola last Saturday when the Greyhounds registered 48 shots on the cage. Campolettano is certainly porous, but needs to be tested.

The Crimson can score, and did in the second and third periods against a weak goalie in Campolettano. But it will not score many goals if it continues to get only a few shots off each period. With three games left, Harvard now looks for someone to become a reliable target around the crease.

The Crimson also had trouble getting the ball into its offensive zone, indicating that the dry periods in the Crimson attack often began with an off-kilter transition.
