Power Outage
In Friday's semifinal between Duluth and Harvard, the referee swallowed his whistle and didn't let out a sound.
Erik Schmakel called only three penalties all night, two against Harvard and one on Duluth.
The Crimson converted on its only powerplay opportunity just 10 seconds into the man-advantage when senior forward Tammy Shewchuk deflected a point shot from senior defenseman Tara Dunn to knot the game, 1-1.
Duluth, who owns the second best powerplay in the nation at 29.6 percent with 50 goals in 169 opportunites, went 1-for-2 against Harvard.
Given more chances with the man-advantage, however, the Crimson's powerplay could have proved to be even more potent.
Harvard's powerplay was running at 24.6 percent heading into Sunday, and Duluth possess the third worst penalty kill in the country behind only Yale and Maine.
