Stevens earned a hat trick off of Gibbons’ fourth assist with 2:25 remaining to cut the deficit to one. After Boardman was whistled for a tripping penalty at 1:39, Harvard had a man-up chance to tie the contest, and Cohen delivered again. The junior rifled a quick shot at Campbell that was denied, but senior Matt Hull picked up the rebound and found Cohen, who beat Campbell on his second attempt for his fourth score of the afternoon and 18th of the season.

“[Stevens and Cohen] really shot the ball well today,” Alex White said.

With the game tied, Dartmouth won the ensuing faceoff and kept control for the rest of the game. After a shot by freshman Jeff Perkins sailed high with six seconds remaining, Dysenschuk beat Krieger as time expired to give the Big Green the win.

Campbell had 17 saves for Dartmouth, while Krieger had six for the Crimson. Harvard accumulated more shots (41-26), won more ground balls (37-31), had fewer turnovers (19-18), and won more faceoffs (13-7) than Dartmouth but nonetheless could not emerge from Hanover with the victory.

“Dartmouth kind of suckered us into their game plan,” White said. “They held on to the ball a lot. We weren’t able to capitalize on opportunities as well as we would’ve liked...the game came down to the last play; unfortunately we let it get to that point.”
