The one big difference between these two weekends? Students. While the support in November was composed primarily of locals anticipating a great Beantown matchup, last weekend's fan support had a strong student contigent.

"It was a great college atmosphere," Mazzoleni said. "It's a great rivalry, and both teams laid it on the line. Our kids appreciate the energy in the building, and I'm sure the fans came away thoroughly entertained."

Although the score doesn't reflect it, Friday's matchup featured one of the most exciting penalty kill sequences of the season halfway through the second period.

"I think the crowd got revved up when we got a lot of heat from the officials," rookie winger Tyler Kolarik said.

Beginning at 8:28, the Crimson was assessed with two minor penalties, a major penalty and a game misconduct. The calls effectively gave the Red Raiders almost six minutes on the man advantage, more than half of which Harvard played two men down.

Senior goaltender Oli Jonas singlehandedly shut down Colgate's power play and held the Red Raiders scoreless throughout the kill. Colgate winger Etienne Morin almost lit the lamp at 9:05, but Jonas robbed him on the breakaway.

And with a stunning move reminiscent of Buffalo Sabres' netminder Dominik Hasek's antics, Jonas did it again. At 7:53, Morin took a pass across the slot and found himself on the doorstep with open net. As he moved to take the shot, Jonas flung his stick across the goalmouth to make the save.
