Danny Biega came up big for Harvard at 12:57 in the third, putting his team within a goal once again with a slapshot from behind the circle. The Crimson pulled its goalkeeper with a minute left in the game and created several scoring opportunities in that last minute, including a near-miss by sophomore forward Alex Killorn with less than 30 seconds to play...
With 13.4 seconds remaining, the tension peaked on a Colgate timeout, as Harvard knew it would have one last chance to tie up the game.
