Just as Yale struck early in beginning of the first period, things would repeat themselves at the beginning of the second half.
Yale quickly tallied two goals to extend its lead to 8-3 just five minutes into the third frame.
Sprong helped close the gap with a goal at the ten-minute mark in the third period to close the scoring for that frame.
In the fourth quarter, Harvard turned the tables on Yale with an early goal of its own. Logigian netted his second goal of the game at 1:26.
Then, in the span of one minute, back-to-back goals from Sprong and Joe Neiman pulled the Crimson to within one with just over five minutes to play.
But Harvard would not get any closer. A goal from Marco Lujic in the final minute sealed the victory for Yale.
"We played much better in the second half," Sprong said. "We eliminated mistakes and played a lot harder."
