Harvard, however, hadn't slipped into its second period retrograde yet. Scott Fusco took a centering pass form his brother 15 feet in front of the B.C. net and slid it along the ice, off Eagle defenseman Tom Wright's skate and under Switaj, for a 2-1 Harvard lead...
...streak (its longest of the season), with impressive wins against the University of Maine and UNH. The 4-2 record is good enough for sole possession of third place in the ECAC, behind Clarkson and Yale. And the best news of all is that the team is starting to skate--a must for success in Bill Cleary's wide-open style. In the Wednesday night game in Durham, N.H., the team went full bore for the first 20 minutes, jumping out to a 3-1 lead, and played a tight checking game the rest of the way to hang...

In fact, although Lau certainly took the lead, coming up with five or six brilliant saves, the whole Harvard defense took over and made up for the slack-off in the skating department...

The defense, especially gutsy sophomore Ken Code, combined with fierce forechecking from the forwards to seal off the UNH offense. And the shots that Code didn't stop with body slides or Mark Fusco didn't intercept and carry out of the zone, Lau got a stick or a pad on--all but a Paul Barton tip-in seven minutes into the game and a Dan Potter deflection with three minutes remaining...
