The Crimson made the game interesting for parts of the third period, scoring two goals within a four-minute span to narrow the Terrier advantage to two goals.

At 4:25 of the third period, sophomore Rob Fried notched his first goal of the year off assists by Cavanagh and sophomore forward Kenny Turano.

Three and a half minutes later, the Crimson picked up its fourth goal of the game. Once again, the score came on the power play from none other than Pettit. Kolarik and Cavanagh assisted on the goal.

So far this season, Pettit has accounted for an astouding 60 percent of the Crimson’s power-play offense, tallying six of Harvard’s ten total power-play goals.

A two-goal deficit was as close as Harvard would get last night. The Terriers padded their lead with two more scores, one by Sabo at 12:06 and the other by Johnson with 2:20 left in the game.

Harvard sophomore goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris—fresh off his first two collegiate wins last weekend, for which he received ECAC goalie of the week honors—had a difficult night in net. He played the whole game, making 20 stops.

The Crimson defense also had a tough night. Harvard was forced to fend off numerous BU power plays and struggled to match the speed of the Terrier forwards.

Harvard’s next game is Friday at 7 p.m. in Chesnut Hill when the Crimson take on the defending national champion Boston College Eagles.
