After a scoreless first period during which USSR goalie Vladislav Tretiak stymied the defending champions, the Soviets put on a strong skating display to thwart the home team's dangerous offense...
Cozza's squads all display smothering defensive prowess, and five starters are coming back from the 1980 defensive unit which gave up just 12 points per game. Two of those five copped All-League honors, although Cozza will have to find a replacement for All-Ivy defensive captains, middleguard Kevin Czinger.
