Although Harvard picked up its second consecutive win in the Tigers' barn, it wasn't able to leave entirely unscathed, as freshman winger Tyler Kolarik suffered a knee injury against Princeton that kept him on the bench against the Elis. The Whale--infamous for hosting a rare defeat of Harvard's 1989 NCAA championship squad--snapped the Crimson's three-game winning streak. However, the Elis' task was alleviated somewhat by the absence of Kolarik and classmate Tim Pettit.

The Elis, however, had the bucket of cold water cocked and ready to splash, and thanks to a little help from a funny bounce off the boards on a dump-in by captain...
...from the lineup with knee injuries, it would be tough for any team to skate away with a victory. It's almost impossible to fault a Harvard team for losing at the Whale. Even the historic 1989 NCAA Championship team, which lost just three games all season long, tasted defeat there...
