Kessler made a career-high 35 saves for the Crimson, while Brine put in a goal, and Chute added two assists. Harvard was outshot, 37-34, overall...
...country’s elite teams, while Harvard hit a bit of a rough patch. Since the Cornell game, Harvard compiled a record of 1-11-3. The Beanpot, however, showed signs of resurgence and the Crimson’s ability to rise in rivalry games. In two thrilling contests, Harvard barely fell to No. 1 Boston University and No. 15 Boston College. Despite Harvard’s record, juniors Alex Biega and Doug Rogers has led their team with a positive attitude. “The team has to focus on the rest of the season and move...
