"The defense, Jake in particular, played really well," freshman Ian Callery said. "They shut down some of the best offense in the country."
The game was drawn to a 5-5 tie when Buttles rolled a shot just past Breslin at 7:27 in the fourth quarter. Led by McKenna, Harvard fought to get the ball out of its defensive zone, and succeeded by taking possession with just two minutes left in the game.30 seconds later, Logigian prevailed with an unassisted goal to give the Crimson the 6-5 win.
"You could tell it was a better team effort," Callery said. "Things came together and we pulled out the win."
Harvard was unable to capitalize on any of its hour man-up opportunities while Duke converted two of its six attempts. Duke also dominated the faceoff, winning 11 of the 13 restarts.
The Blue Devils outshot the Crimson 39-28, but the work of Ivy Rookie of the Week Jake McKenna brought Harvard out on top. McKenna is first in the Ivy goaltending standings with a 5.26 GAA. He had a career-best 18 saves for the game.
