Harvard's field goal unit trotted out for what would have been an 18-yard attempt from the left hash. Game, set, match, right? Well, Princeton burnt a timeout to freeze senior Mike Giampaolo, who was 2-for-2 on field goals for the day. The Tigers ended up freezing him all right, but not the way they expected.
