The Crimson struggled to control its rebounds and the Tigers did not cease to pounce on every loose puck they could find in front of the net.
“[Boe] made the first saves, but they were able to capitalize on rebounds,” Corriero said. “It’s up to us as back-forwards and defenders to clean out the rebounds.”
McAuliffe attributed the high score to a larger meltdown on Harvard’s defensive end.
Unlike Princeton, the Crimson was unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Harvard was held scoreless in the final frame despite 20 shots on goal, while the Tigers managed two goals on four shots in the third period.
Van Beusekom stonewalled 36 Crimson shots for the victory, while Boe made 19 saves in the loss.
