Kelleher redeemed himself Friday, turning aside 23 Harvard shots, including some close bids by sophomore forward Tim Pettit.

With Kelleher playing better, B.C. Coach Jerry York appreciates the option of having two solid backstops at the ready.

“That really helps our club when we get both goalies playing well,”he said. “Matti’s had three games in a row with one goal each, and now Timmy comes back with a shutout.”

From here on out, York will likely continue to platoon his goalies. Mazzoleni, it appears, may follow suit. Both Crothers and Grumet-Morris, he said, will play in next weekend’s series against St. Lawrence and Clarkson.

“Our goal is we’d like to rotate them,” Mazzoleni said. “I think we’re definitely at a point where that’s something we have to strongly consider right now.

“I would say right now they’re both going to play. They both deserve the right to play.”

Crothers, Mazzoleni said, did everything asked of him Friday. The only thing missing? Offense.

“He put us within striking distance to try and tie [the game],” Mazzoleni said. “We didn’t respond to it.”

The goals will come. For now, it’s enough that Crothers—and Grumet-Morris—are healthy and giving Harvard a chance to win.

Crothers, in particular, says he has plenty left to give.

“I feel fine [physically],” Crothers said. “I have a lot of energy left.”
