Despite the loss, Harvard (7-8-1, 6-4-1 ECAC) put together two of its most complete performances of the season in tight, extremely physical battles against its rivals.
Though the Crimson's hold on first place is still precarious with six teams within four points, the strong outings against top contenders legitimized its top standing. And it indicated that Harvard will not fade as the second half of the season begins.
After dominating most of the third period against Princeton (6-7-3, 4-3-3), the Crimson learned the hard way that it only takes a shift to spoil sixty minutes of hard work.
With the game knotted at two and less than four minutes remaining in regulation, sophomore forward Brad Parsons silenced the Bright Hockey Center with one snap of the wrist to help the Tigers on their way to a 4-2 victory.
Taking a feed at the blueline from junior forward Chris Corrinet, Parsons eluded a haphazard Harvard backcheck and then split the Crimson defense with a sudden burst of speed.
