Harvard refused to let up on the now-demoralized Bulldogs, as freshman winger Dennis Packard and sophomore center Dom Moore would add insurance goals to ice the game.
"When Harvard tied it up and very quickly pulled ahead, the floodgates gave way," Yale Coach Tim Taylor '63 said.
The impressive finish for Harvard seemed like a long shot just a period before, when the game was almost taken out of the Crimson's hands by rough play on both sides and some suspect officiating.
With Harvard holding a 3-1 lead midway through the second and seemingly controlling play, Yale winger Lee Jelenic crashed into Harvard senior goaltender Oli Jonas.
While Jonas was out of position, Yale center Vin Hellemeyer fired the puck into the open net.
Remarkably, referee Dan Murphy allowed the goal and did not call a penalty on Jelenic.
While Harvard complained to the officials about the disputed goal, Jelenic left the Yale bench area and skated alone right toward Jonas, verbally taunting him.
