Sophomore center Dominic Moore's stunning tally shortly into overtime nudged the Crimson's overall record above the .500 mark and sent the five members of the senior class off with a bittersweet victory.

Moore wrapped around the back of the net and lifted a wrist shot past Dartmouth goaltender Nick Boucher at 1:32 to conclude the consolation match-up.

The moment was especially meaningful for the younger Moore, as his game-winning goal--his Xth of the season--ended the squad's family dynasty. The victory marked the last game that the Moore brothers would skate together in their collegiate careers.

"To send the seniors out with a win was great," Dominic Moore said. "And to have my brother smile at the end of the day was awesome. It made me smile too."

Not surprisingly, the game did not have much flow in its early goings, stemming primarily from a lack of enthusiasm on both sides. The Crimson's first goal halfway through the first period raised the intensity level and brought the spark back to both sides.

At 10:30 in the opening frame, sophomore defenseman Aaron Kim took a pass at the blue line on the power play and rifled a shot on net. While setting a screen in front of the net, freshman winger Dennis Packard caught a piece of the puck and deflected the shot past Boucher to put Harvard on the board, 1-0, the Crimson's only tally on the man-advantage in five chances.

Packard's efforts during the stint at Lake Placid finally received recognition on the scoreboard, after his two goals during the first eight minutes of play against Cornell the previous night were disallowed.

Dartmouth began to pick up the pace in the second stanza, sensing that a victory for the sake of its pride would benefit its multitude of young players.
