The second game looked to be a repeat of the first, with Newbury quickly taking a 4-1 lead. But a massive block from junior Brady Weissbourd and an error by Newbury allowed Harvard to tie the game soon after at 4-4.

The visitors’ mounting frustration was quite clear, as little shoves or scuffles seemed to follow every stoppage in play, but the Crimson rose above the temptation to fight and gladly accepted the Bobcats’ extra penalties...
...Manuel García, editor of Encuentros, a Madrid-based magazine focused on Cuban affairs. "He's acted as a counterweight to his brother." Malamud expects that even now, that role will not change. "Fidel will continue to be the guardian of orthodoxy. He'll continue to block any change...
