With the Ivy title on the line, the game tied 1-1 in double overtime, and nine seconds left, the Crimson needed a miracle. It got a penalty shot. After Harvard freshman striker Melanie Baskind was fouled inside the box, junior Lizzy Nichols stepped into the box and lined up for the shot. Charging towards the ball, she slammed the ball into the upper left corner of the net, sealing the win over Columbia (11-4-2, 4-2-1 Ivy), the defending conference champions. With its 2-1 victory, Harvard...
...statistics are a bit deceptive, as the Crimson’s running backs posted a combined 38 yards on 19 carries, but 26 yards came off Harvard’s total due to sacks, and another 33 yards were lost because of a bad snap over junior punter Thomas Hull’s head—both losses counted against the rushing total. It probably also didn’t help that the Crimson started a pair of new offensive linemen on Saturday: sophomore Chris LeRoy and junior Ben Sessions got their first starts of the season against the Lions...
...early-season battle to solidify its on-ice chemistry.“I think we have yet to play a full 60-minute hockey game so far this season, and I really think that is going to be our emphasis from this point on,” junior goaltender Christina Kessler said.

Rolecek and senior Nick Coskren scored for Harvard, with junior defenseman Alex Biega assisting on each.Despite five penalties in the first period and an additional power play to start the second, it was the Engineers that struck first when forward Paul Kerins scored unassisted for the short-handed goal. Three minutes later, a Harvard penalty gave RPI a man advantage...
...what Saturday’s game also exposed was Harvard’s only question mark: special teams. A snap over the punter’s head resulted in a quick Lions touchdown, another punt was returned by Columbia’s Austin Knowlin for a touchdown, and junior Patrick Long missed an extra point and a field goal. And the Crimson’s special teams troubles are not a recent phenomenon. Harvard entered the contest ranked last in the Ivies in kick returns and punt returns, as well as seventh in net punting. In week two against Brown...
