Harvard Falls to BU in Overtime Thriller

Freshman Nets Four Goals in Defeat
Morrison, who scored four goals in a losing effort, was 20 seconds away from single-handedly beating BU, the defending NCAA Champions.
CON ARTIST
Harvard freshman Conor Morrison kept fooling the Boston University defense last night, scoring four goals, including a go-ahead tally with one minute remaining in the third period. A combination of luck and skill led to the breakout night, and the freshman is now tied for the team lead in goals. The last time a Crimson player scored four goals in a game was in 1998.
The Rundown
For the Harvard men’s hockey team, this season has been characterized by missed opportunities. On Saturday night against Clarkson, the Crimson let a 2-0 lead slip away and settled for a tie.
Crimson Frustrated by Tie, Can’t End Winless Streak
The Clarkson men’s hockey team struck gold Saturday night, mustering two goals late in the third period to come away with a 2-2 tie against Harvard at Bright Hockey Center.
Be Like Mike
Junior forward Michael Biega slammed home a power play goal against the Saints Friday night at Bright Hockey Center for his third score in as many games. Biega and rookie Alex Killorn—who notched his team-leading fourth goal of the year—provided an offensive spark in the Crimson’s home opener, but it was not enough to overcome a strong St. Lawrence team.
Grand Marshall
Rookie Marshall Everson sent home a rebound for his team-leading third power play goal of the season against the Golden Knights. The score gave Harvard a 2-0 lead, but Clarkson would storm back to tie the game.
Surging Quinnipiac Too Much for Harvard
Led by forward Eric Lampe—who had a hat trick in the game—the No. 20 Bobcats (8-1-0, 4-0 ECAC) steamrolled the Harvard men's hockey team (1-3-1, 1-3-1 ECAC) in Hamden, Conn. this past weekend, by a score of 5-1.
Crimson Fights Back To Force Tie
In a reversal of roles from its past few games, it was the Harvard men’s hockey team (1-3-1, 1-3-1 ECAC) that came from behind to skate to a 3-3 tie with No. 19 Princeton (3-2-1, 2-1-1 ECAC) on Saturday afternoon at Baker Rink.
BE LIKE MIKE
Junior forward Michael Biega of the Harvard men’s hockey team shined for the Crimson this weekend, scoring his team’s only goal in a 5-1 loss to Quinnipiac and putting the puck away with 57 seconds left in Saturday’s game against Princeton to force a 3-3 tie with the Tigers.
Offense To Spark Harvard Comeback
After its tournament dreams came tumbling down in shocking fashion last March, the Harvard men’s hockey team has high hopes of improving upon the disappointing up-and-down 2008-09 season and making it back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006.
SUIT UP
The Harvard squad, which held one of the lowest number of goals scored in the ECAC last season, is looking to rookies Louis Leblanc and Alex Fallstrom—both NHL draft picks—as well as team-leading scorer Doug Rogers to generate big offense this season.
Back at Home in the Crimson Goal
<p>With the return of star goaltender Kyle Richter—as well as the recent rise of up-and-coming junior Ryan Carroll—the Crimson appears to be in better shape at the start of this season than it was last year.</p>
RICHTER SCALE
Junior Kyle Richter boasted a .935 save percentage and 2.19 goals-against average in 34 games during his sophomore season for Harvard. Back this season after a year away from Crimson ice and his teammates, Richter will have to fend off junior Ryan Carroll and senior John Riley to keep the starting job in the net.
