RPI picked up the pace in the third period, outshooting the Crimson 19-6, but was unable to threaten Harvard seriously until the game was all but over.
“They outshot us for the game,” Moore said. “But if you looked at the scoring chances, we definitely had the edge. Most of their shots were from the perimeter.”
Harvard plays in its fifth straight Beanpot consolation game today at 5 p.m. against Northeastern at the Fleet Center. After coming just minutes short of a rare Beanpot title last year, the Huskies have struggled all season and have not yet beaten a team of Harvard’s caliber.
A win over Northeastern would give the Crimson its first victory over a Hockey East school since 2000.
