Friday, February 12, 1993 Cambridge, MA Bright Hockey Center 1 2 3 - T Yale 0 1 0 1 Harvard 1 3 0 4 Goalies: Yale - Todd Sullivan - 33 saves Harvard - Aaron Israel - 18 saves The top two ECAC teams met at Bright Hockey Center with the Harvard Crimson defeating the Yale Elis, 4-1, breaking a streak of three straight ties between the two teams. Yale now drops down to 3rd place in the ECAC, trailing RPI by 1 point. Harvard, still charged up after their Beanpot victory over BU last Tuesday, dominated the game, badly outshooting Yale 29-11 in the first two periods. The 1st period was a one sided affair that could have created a blowout if not for the fine goaltending of Sullivan. Sullivan was very effective covering up rebounds on close range shots. Early in the first period, Harvard Captain, Ted Drury, deflected a slapshot wide of the net and went behind the net to chase the puck. As Sullivan slowly backed up to his goal, Drury alertly centered the puck which hit the back of Sullivan's skate and into the net for the period's only goal. The second period featured several Harvard power plays in which the Crimson scored three goals in a span of seven minutes. Steve Flomenhoft, Matt Mallgrave, and Chris Baird were the goal scorers. Yale was given a 5-3 power play midway through the period and seconds after the first penalty expired, Jack Duffy backhanded a rebound past Israel's right leg for Yale's only goal. The third period was a pretty even match with both sides getting chances but neither scoring. Yale had a breakaway that was stopped by Israel, and Drury set up his linemates many times only to be stopped by Sullivan. Harvard seems to be playing with a lot of confidence after the Beanpot as all four lines played extremely well tonight. Defenseman Derek Maguire is returning to form after missing the first semester. He make several nice defensive plays and has moved to the right point on the first power play unit, replacing Lou Body. Harvard plays Princeton tomorrow afternoon while Yale travels to Brown. -- Lloyd Hsu
