With the exception of the first period, Harvard outshot the Elis almost two to one in every frame, and ended the game with a 51-28 shot advantage.
Still, the Elis held the Crimson to just seven goals.
"They used an adjacent slide package and we haven't seen that much this year," Sprong said. "But we've had problems scoring goals all year."
Yale goaltender Adam Oppenheimer was solid with 12 saves on the night, while McKenna finished with eight saves for the Crimson.
Despite the loss there was an individual accomplishment to recognize. Buttles fourth assist of the night on Logigian's fourth quarter goal was his 100th career point. He is just the 27th player in school history to reach that mark.
The game was the last on Jordan Field for the Crimson this season.
Harvard has a week to prepare for fifth-ranked Notre Dame next Saturday in South Bend.
"We just need to play hard and good things will happen," Sprong said.
