Helping to create the chance was junior forward Jimmy Vesey, who nearly got his stick on the puck while creating a screen in front. But the goal would be credited to Moy, bringing Vesey’s streak of 15 consecutive games with at least one point to an end.

Contributing to the lack of offensive production for Harvard was the absence of three of its top scoring threats. Sophomore forwards Alexander Kerfoot and Sean Malone remained sidelined with injuries, while junior defenseman Patrick McNally joined them for the second consecutive night.

“We caught a Harvard team that was pretty undermanned—missing a lot of [its] good players,” said St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel. “[We] took that into account, but I really liked the way our team came out.”

Despite being outshot, 39-11, over the final two frames, the Saints put an end to the Crimson’s comeback attempt in the opening minutes of the third period.

Trailing by two goals, Harvard underwent a setback when junior forward Brian Hart was ejected for a game misconduct penalty for making contact with the head of St. Lawrence forward Drew Smolcynski. On the subsequent power play, Saints’ forward Brian Ward put the game out of reach. Sophomore forward Alexander Dahl would tag on one more to conclude the scoring.

With the win, St. Lawrence moves into third place in the ECAC—just two points behind the Crimson for second. Harvard remains four points behind Quinnipiac, who sits atop the league with 20 points.
