The same thing happened last night, when Harvard couldn’t convert its two-man advantage early in the second and Los Angeles native Grant Goeckner-Zoeller scored on the doorstep midway through the period.

Senior winger Tim Pettit, the guy with a dozen (or two) relatives with Princeton degrees, answered for the Crimson. With the Tigers caught in a line change, Pettit picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone and barreled down the left side, releasing at the bottom of the circle.

The puck caught the far post before ricocheting into the cage behind goaltender Eric Leroux with 6:56 to go in the second period.

It was the 49th goal of Pettit’s career—and second of the season.

But, as was the case for the rest of the team, Pettit’s last trip to Hobey Baker proved more memorable. In last season’s meeting here, he became the first player since Scott Fusco ’86 to record five points in a game.

Last night, he combined with the other Harvard icemen to put only 32 of their 69 shots on net, sending them into an 11-day layoff with a mediocre start to think about—or not think about, depending on how they approach it.
