COLGATE MEN'S HOCKEY FALLS TO HARVARD, 6-1 CAMBRIDGE, Mass.— Fueled by a one-goal, one-assist night by junior Brett Nowak (New Haven, CT), the Harvard men's hockey team completed a weekend sweep with a 6-1 victory over Colgate at Bright Hockey Center on Saturday night. With the win, Harvard head coach Mark Mazzoleni picked up his 250th collegiate coaching victory and his 19th with the Harvard program. After pulling out an overtime nail biter on Friday night against No. 9 Cornell, it didn't take long for the Crimson to take a commanding lead in this contest. A mere 95 seconds into the first period, Harvard was able to penetrate deep into the Colgate zone where freshman Kenny Smith (Stoneham, MA) let loose a shot from the point which was tipped home by Jeff Stonehouse (Blenheim, ONT). Less than nine minutes later, the Crimson followed up with a short-handed tally by Dennis Packard (Kingston, PA) - a textbook 2-vs-1 break executed by Packard and Nowak. Smith added his second career goal in the waning moments of the period to put the Crimson up 3-0. Colgate broke into the scoring column at the 7:25 mark of the second stanza when Kyle Doyle (Samia, ONT) slammed home a loose puck in front of the Harvard net. The Crimson countered seven minutes later when Nowak drove around the Raiders' net and stuffed home a shot through the pads of starting Colgate starting netminder Jason LeFevre (Rome, NY). That tally put the Crimson up 4-1 and also marked the end of LeFevre's night as he was pulled and replaced by sophomore David Cann (Brampton, ONT). In addition to finding its own offensive rhythm, the Crimson was able to stimy the Raiders throughout the night. Freshman Dov Grumet-Morris (Evanston, IL), who was making his second straight start in net, picked up 20 saves on the night while the Harvard penalty-kill unit shut down seven Colgate power-play chances. Harvard tagged on two more goals in the latter stages of the third period to seal the win and improve to 3-2-1 in ECAC play and 3-2-1 overall. The Raiders will take on Merrimack in the first round of the Syracuse Invitational Tournament on Friday at 4 p.m. at the Onondaga County War Memorial. |
