HARVARD 4, CORNELL 3

Against the Big Red at Lynah Rink, the Crimson netted a late goal to secure a victory over Cornell, one of the better teams in the ECAC.

The Big Red jumped out to an early lead with a goal from defenseman Nick D’Agostino in the first minute, but Harvard responded quickly with scores by junior forward Alex Killorn and senior forward Michael Biega later in the frame.

Cornell outshot the Crimson in the period, but Harvard headed into the first intermission with a 2-1 lead.

Midway through the second frame, the Big Red evened the score, but Killorn responded with a backhander off a rebound just over four minutes later that gave the Crimson a 3-2 lead.

Senior goalie Ryan Carroll made crucial saves in the game and finished with 27 stops. The Harvard penalty kill was also effective, as the team kept Cornell from scoring on three power play chances.

The final frame began with another game-tying Big Red goal, but the Crimson broke through once again on a cross-ice pass from the elder Biega to his younger brother, who sent a one-timer into the back of the net.

Cornell was unable to tie the game, and Harvard left Ithaca with a 4-3 victory.

Both Biega brothers finished with a goal and two assists, and Killorn recorded two goals of his own.

The power play was especially effective in the game, as the Crimson went 3-for-4 with the man-advantage.

“We moved the puck as quickly as we could, getting shots to the net,” Huxley said. “It was one of the goals going into the weekend.”
