With two minutes left in the period, Harvard once again dented the scoreboard, this time coming from the hand of freshman winger Rob Fried.
Fried set up in front of the Princeton net and guided a rebound beneath Stathos's pads to increase the Harvard advantage to 2-0.
Throughout the second period, however, the physical play escalated and the Tigers were able to gain momentum. Princeton sliced the Crimson's lead in half only two minutes into the final stanza.
Tiger winger Brad Parsons stole the puck and flew down the ice on a two-on-one rush for Princeton. Parsons stepped around a diving Crimson defender and rifled the puck over Jonas's left shoulder at 2:21 to make the score 2-1.
Princeton completed its comeback with both teams skating four aside.
Tiger senior center Ethan Doyle passed to winger Shane Campbell, who was waiting in front of the crease. Campbell took the pass and one-timed it past a screened Jonas to tie the game at two.
The ferocious hitting continued until the end of the game, often resulting in multiple gloves, sticks, and bodies sprawled out across the ice.
