...Raiders turnover handed possession back to Harvard at the Crimson blue line, where assistant captain Ryan Lannon threaded a perfect pass through traffic and squarely onto Du’s stick as he crossed into the Colgate zone. Skating unopposed, the center broke for the net, then nudged the puck across the crease to his forehand and tucked the game-winner inside the right post, ending the fourth-longest contest in the history of the ECAC playoffs four hours and four minutes after it first began at the Pepsi Arena...
Locked in a sloppy defensive struggle a full 40 minutes before Du’s score, Harvard appeared to have notched the clinching goal, courtesy of junior Charlie Johnson. With the Crimson well-established in the Raiders’ zone, freshman Jon Pelle corralled the loose puck in the corner, then slipped in front of the net with a nifty move through the defense.

Following a minute of extended pressure at its own end, Colgate narrowly missed its last best chance to claim the victory at 13:50. Grumet-Morris turned aside the Raiders’ initial opportunity, but the rebound kicked to his right to Kyle Wilson, who quickly sent the puck back on net. Disoriented and discombobulated, Grumet-Morris allowed the effort to slide between his legs and through the crease before skipping just inches wide of the far post...
