That goal ignited a 5-0 UMass run that spanned seven minutes. Four of those goals belonged to Foley.
Harvard scored two goals in the second quarter, including a penalty shot, but Harvard entered the half facing a 7-3 deficit.
"We made a few mistakes that played right into their hands," said Harvard Coach Jim Floerchinger. "UMass is a team that's very good in its counterattack and not as good in the half-court, but we didn't play at the right pace to take advantage of that."
Harvard's errors after halftime were far more basic. After Crosby converted a pass from Cheng to cut the deficit to three early in the third, a number of offensive miscues kept the Crimson from getting even closer.
Foley stole an outlet pass and scored again while the entire Harvard side set up for an offensive possession that never materialized.
Two minutes later, the Crimson was awarded a four-meter penalty shot, and Istvan Zollei found the back of the net.
Unfortunately for Harvard, the goal was negated because Zollei failed to release the ball on the whistle.
UMass capitalized on these miscues to outscore Harvard, 5-2, in the third frame to add to its lead.
