Clarkson and Harvard skated to a 4-4 tie tonight in Cambridge.
 
Harvard had 5 PP in the 1st period and Matt Malgrave scored to make
it 1-0 going into the intermission.
 
Clarkson's Craig Conroy and Hugo Belanger scored in the 2nd to
make it 2-1 Clarkson after 2.
 
Harvard made it 3-2 getting the crowd back into it but Clarkson scored
2 quick goals to lead 4-3 late. Then with under 2 minutes left,
Ted Drury got a breakaway and beat CU goalie Chris Rogles to send
it to overtime.
 
CU got 0 shots in overtime but Rogles came up big a few times in the
extra session to preserve the tie.
 
Clarkson had 36 shots on goal while Harvard had about the same.
 
BTW- about the whole "stick controversy" for Harvard, yes we can ignore
        it. The incident is over and the loss had little effect on the
        standings so let's forget about it. No whining from HU's part.
        It's not an excuse just like the underwear thing for Clarkson.
