The Crimson reeled off a season-high four-game ECAC unbeaten streak before Lau was lost for the season with a knee injury and a 7-3 loss at Cornell eliminated the squad from playoff consideration Harvard, the feeling was, had proved the Beanpot win was no fluke with its late-season play and, led by Lau and a strong returning cast, was ready to make a serious run at the Top Eight this season after four years of disappointment...
