“I don’t think Notre Dame had anybody on their team who was a better athlete than the guy they matched up against,” Crocco said.
Crocco felt that Notre Dame was not as challenging as the other ranked teams Harvard has faced this season. The Crimson has lost to No. 12 Cornell, No. 4 UMass and No. 2 Princeton by deficits of one, five and four goals, respectively.
The Crimson (4-9, 1-4 Ivy) managed to outscore Notre Dame 7-6 in the second half, but was never able to really threaten the large Irish lead.
Harvard lost despite outshooting Notre Dame 36-32 and holding the edge in faceoffs, 16-14.
The Irish simply capitalized on its scoring chances while Harvard did not. The Crimson scored on just 31 percent of its shots, while Notre Dame connected on half its opportunities and Harvard junior goaltender Jake McKenna recorded just five saves.
