But Angel added his second score of the contest with 9:07 to go, and after a slashing penalty on senior defenseman Paul Pate, Comeau scored his second late-in-a-period goal by beating Krieger with 1:13 remaining in the third.

Harvard tied the game behind Eipp early in the fourth. But after falling behind once more, the Crimson was unable to take advantage of a number of late chances to even things up again, despite outshooting Georgetown 9-2 in the period.

“I think we came out very focused in the second half with some momentum,” Eipp said. “But we made some key mistakes with possession of the ball that led the loss. We had a couple of opportunities to score at the end of the game, and we couldn’t make it work.”

Eipp and Cohen each registered five points on a hat trick with two assists on the afternoon, giving Cohen a team-high 13 goals through four games this season. Angel and McFadden had hat tricks for Georgetown, while Krieger and Winter both made 12 saves.

Freshman midfielder Keegan Mitchel won 15-of-22 faceoffs and collected seven ground balls as Harvard won both those categories handily but—thanks in part to 23 turnovers—was unable to take the contest.

“We committed a lot of penalties on the defensive end, committed a lot of turnovers on the offensive end, and those two things definitely led to a lot of their goals,” Vaughan said. “It’s not for a lack of talent or a lack of will that we lost this game. But we’ve got to be more disciplined, limit the turnovers, and try to play a bit smarter.”
