HAMILTON — Harvard scored four unanswered goals, including two empty netters, to earn a 4-1 win over Colgate Saturday.
COACH HARDER'S COMMENTS
"After a slow start, we had a tremendously great effort but couldn't find the back of the net. This league is a battle every single night, and tonight was no exception. Already looking forward to next weekend."
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Crimson took the lead at 2-1 with nine minutes remaining in the game off a face-off win that landed at the stick of Philip Tresca, who fired it home.
- Harvard sealed the win with an empty-netter by Mick Thompson with a minute left to make the score 3-1.
- A second empty-netter by Justin Solovey occurred seconds later to make the game 4-1.
- Max Nagel opened the scoring 4:54 into the second to make it 1-0 Raiders. He fired a shot past the goalie's glove off a breakaway following a loose puck that got broken up by Jack Brandt and Antonio Fernandez.
- Andrew Takacs kept the Crimson off the board with eight saves in the first period.
- The Raiders started the third period with power play after a Harvard penalty thirty seconds into the period, but it could not convert.
- Colgate earned its first power play chance 12:25 into the second but could not capitalize.
- The Raiders also successfully killed off three penalties in the first two periods.
GAME NOTES
