The Catamounts’ Thomas Galvin added a goal with 19 seconds remaining, but by then, the game was far out of reach.
It was a dominant performance by Harvard, which outshot Vermont 41-19. Though there were eight penalties in the contest, the teams were a combined 0-for-6 on man-up opportunities.
“Our defense and our goalie, Harry Krieger, they really kept us in it the whole time,” Zimmerman said. “We ended up making a lot of mistakes on offense, but it ended up being a non-factor because our defense and our goalie played so well.”
Michel led the Crimson with seven ground balls, while senior defenseman Daniel DiMaria collected six. The Crimson also won 11 of 19 faceoffs while forcing 23 Vermont turnovers.
“Overall, it was a great team effort,” Zimmerman said.
