Wasted opportunities by Harvard were not limited to the second quarter, however. For the game, the Crimson held a 32-26 advantage in shots. Best embodying the Harvard shooting woes were Gottschall—six shots, zero goals—and Greg Cohen—eight shots, one goal.

The loss was an surely an especially tough pill to swallow for the Crimson due to the nature of Ivy League and its impressive victories over UMass and Fairfield in the two previous games.

“What we [need] to do is to just forget about [the Penn game],” Kane said. “We [need] to bounce back to the way we played in the two games before that, which were probably the two best games we’ve played [while I’ve been] in a Harvard uniform.”

“Once we learn what we had against UMass and Fairfield, we can compete with anybody and beat anybody that’s on our schedule right now.”
