No one expected much from the Elis at the beginning of the season. But the Elis are currently in the thick of the ECAC race, and its visit to Harvard will go down as a harbinger of what the Elis have since proven.
Harvard opened up the tournament against the Yale "B" team on Friday, January 10, handily defeating the Elis 5-0. Successive blankings of Princeton and Pennsylvania on Saturday set the Crimson up for Sunday's showdown against Mexico.
Heading into the final session with a 4-3 lead in Potsdam, N.Y., the Elis surrendered two goals in the first 2:04 and never recovered the lead. Clarkson pulled out a 6-5 victory to knock the Elis from first place.
It was the Elis' first ECAC loss, but not its first of the season. At the Great Badger Showdown over Winter Break, Yale kept eighth-ranked Wisconsin tied, 1-1, into the final session. The Badgers, however, finally got their act together, rattling off five goals to take the contest...
Harvard Coach Ronn Tomassoni, for one, still isn't convinced that the Elis will be around come post-season action.
