The Crimson would not be behind on the scoreboard again until Connolly’s overtime goal.
“We never got another go-ahead goal,” Parker said. “We had to keep coming from behind.”
But Harvard was never able to establish a comfortable lead, as Cohen got his first goal of the day with four minutes left in the first period—the only goal the Terriers registered during a major penalty by freshman Brendan Rempel.
The Crimson, which had matched BU shot-for-shot in the first period, slowed down in the second, getting outshot 14-6. The Terriers would outshoot Harvard for the remainder of the contest, but every time they tied the game, Morrison scored to give the Crimson a one-goal lead.
“Nobody wanted to give up anything,” Parker said.
Both teams’ seasons have been disappointing thus far. While BU may have broken its dry spell, Harvard extended its winless streak to seven. Its next chance to get a victory is Sunday against Dartmouth.
“Both teams were starving for a win,” Donato said.
Only the Terriers were able to go home full.
