Harvard freshman defender Kevin Guiltinan and Bill Arnold exchanged pushes and grabs in the Harvard zone with six minutes left in reglation following a hit from Guiltinan on Gaudreau. Guiltinan and Arnold left the ice with game misconducts.
The Crimson’s lone break through on the night came three minutes later on a power play.
Freshman forward Luke Esposito scored his first collegiate goal off a rebound in the slot.
The mark spoiled a shutout for Billett, who turned away a game-high 16 Crimson shots in the third period.
Following the game, Donato said that his team has much to learn from the loss.
“They’re a very well coached, talented team and we weren’t good enough to give them a competitive game,” Donato said. “This is a tough team to play against and not be at your best.”
With the win, BC maintains an all-time series advantage of 71-44-5 over Harvard.
The Eagles have not lost to the Crimson since 2006.
Tuesday marks the Crimson’s last home game for more than a month. The team will travel to UNH next Tuesday before visiting Dartmouth, Brown, and Yale.
