One of Harvard's best chances to notch a point came at 13:06 on the penalty kill. Moore and younger brother Dominic surged down the ice in the man-down situation and fired a sequence of shots on netminder Nick Boucher. Summerfelt raced in to make the final save as Boucher was out of position on the third shot from the elder Moore.

"We had a power play in the second period that Boucher was just immense on," Gaudet said. "They got some chances, and that was a key point in the game."

Although it didn't require much effort--he faced only 22 shots in three periods--Boucher recorded his first whitewash of the season last weekend, and his last blanking since Dartmouth's win over RPI last January.

Jonas wasn't as fortunate as the opposing goaltender, turning in an uncharacteristically poor performance. The Big Green chased Jonas from the game after the second period, as Mazzoleni sent in freshman netminder Will Crothers to tend the final 20 minutes.

Crothers, a little green himself with only one full game under his belt, turned in an admirable effort, but was unable to stave off the Dartmouth offense, giving up a trio of goals in the third period, two of which came on the power play.

Harvard's power play--ranked near the top of the league at approximately 20 percent--did not click on any of its four chances despite the fact that the Big Green post only a 74 percent penalty kill success rate.

"You have to have leadership. We're coaching the same way we did in the beginning. It's what's going out there, and the attitude that goes with it."

The loss drops the Crimson to fourth place in the ECAC, as St. Lawrence takes control of the conference for the first time this season. Cornell and Clarkson are tied for second, only a point ahead of the Crimson, and Dartmouth is right on Harvard's heels in fifth.
