Harvard 4, Princeton 3 (OT) __________________________ I saw the game last night at Baker Rink and was impressed by both teams. Harvard was clearly the superior team talent-wise, but some scrappy play, tough checking, and outstanding goaltending by Princeton's James Konte (he showed up both Israel and Tracy) kept the Tigers in the game. Princeton struck first with a power play goal with a few minutes left in the first and went into the first inter. with a 1-0 lead. Harvard came out roaring in the second, absolutely mastering the Tigers and scoring two goals in the process to take the lead. Finally, Princeton started to assert themselves again and on a late period power play, wristed one past Tracy with :03 remaining in the second. The third was scoreless until, on a power play, Princeton's Tony Rinaldi deflected one into the net with about 4 minutes to play. After a solid two minutes in the attack zone, Harvard cleared the puck and some sloppy defensive play from the Tigers allowed Harvard's Steve Martins (the ECAC scoring leader) to wrist a great shot by a stunned Konte. In OT, Princeton had its chances, but Tracy shut the door. And with :32 remaining in OT, Harvard stuffed one in to end it. The game was remarkably similar to last year and Harvard's 6-5 OT defeat at Baker Rink. Same situation: the Tigers held a late lead, blew it, and then lost in OT. Princeton thus far has been an unsung team. Very young, they started off slowly and five of their first seven, but in their last eleven contests they are 6-3-2. All in all, this team could be the giant-killer in the ECAC playoffs. Tonight, the Tigers face a Brown team hungry to avenge last night's OT loss to Yale. Brown and Princeton met in the Tiger's second game of the season. Brown won 5-4 in Providence.
