Harvard extended a 4-3 halftime lead by scoring 6 unanswered goals in the third period after switching defenses. “When we started mixing our defense up in the third period, it really seemed to confuse them,” Harvard Coach Rich Corso said.

Justin Sheen and Eric Deutsch each added 2 goals for Harvard, ranked No. 1 in the 2-A Division.
