Morrison completed Harvard’s comeback with less than 50 seconds left in overtime. A stretch pass from sophomore Tommy O’Regan set up the senior on a breakaway that culminated in a winning shot from just inside the left faceoff circle. The play made No. 8 on ESPN the next morning.

“I was really happy for Connor that he got that goal; that’s a really cool experience,” Fallstrom said. “I think that’s something that he will always remember and cherish about his Harvard career.”

With the win, Harvard broke a five-year drought in the extra frame. Its last overtime victory—a 2-1 win on Nov. 20, 2007—had also come at BU.

The contest also lived up to its hype as a sibling rivalry game. Tommy O’Regan (1 goal, 2 assists) and BU freshman Danny O’Regan (2 goals, 1 assist) combined for six points on the night in the brothers’ first intercollegiate competition against one another.

It would take Harvard another five games to score its next six goals. The comeback, sandwiched in between six- and nine-game winless streaks, came during the Crimson’s toughest stretch of the season. But Harvard had the Terriers’ number this year. The Crimson beat BU in the Beanpot consolation game a month later, 7-4.
