The Cardinal penalty kicker has guessed right a lot lately--he's nailed all three penalty kicks this year and hit a perfect four last season. This time, his precision resulted in the game-winner.
With 19:58 remaining in regulation, the Cardinal finally broke through the stingy Crimson defense. Chris Porch took a pass from Caven and slipped a shot by Reilly to knot the score at one.
Stanford's Jeff Rona nearly iced the game for the Cardinal in the second OT, but his shot caromed off the left post. With five minutes left, Reilly thwarted another Stanford chance with a diving save.
The last four minutes belonged to the Crimson, as the team applied constant pressure to a Scrooge-like Cardinal defense. D'Onofrio's last-second shot sailed over the net, sealing the victory for Stanford.
Based on results against common opponent Indiana, the Cardinal simply overmatches Harvard. But this may be misleading. The Hoosiers peaked on Sunday, playing at a higher level than they had in previous matches.
