"Our power play has been struggling lately," freshman winger Tim Pettit said. "We had a streak in January where they were going in left and right, but now nothing has meshed."
Union countered with a power play goal of its own at 2:50 of the second period. Pettit gave Harvard its chance to win the game with his twelfth goal of the season, a deflection off a point shot by junior defenseman Aaron Kim.
The goal tied Pettit with Clarkson's Rob McFeeters for the top point total among all ECAC rookies.
Jonas made 32 saves for the Crimson in the contest, while Snee turned aside 19.
Harvard 1, RPI 0
Nowak took a drop pass from senior linemate Harry Schwefel and skated to the right faceoff circle and let go a wristshot that managed to allude the Engineer's star rookie netminder Nathan Marsters. Jonas made that one goal stand up with 27 saves, a number that underreports the amount of action around his net during the contest.
"We'll take that win any day," Jonas said. "We needed that win. I think that it means that we'll have home ice. We're all very excited."
