...tie dropped the Quakers out of a first-place tie for the Ivy-League lead it had shared with Columbia and Cornell. Now 8-3-3, the Quakers lost any chance of a bid to the NCAA regionals with the tie. The Crimson, on the other hand, moves to 9-4-1 (2-3-1 Ivy) and retains a slight chance for a wild-card bid in the New England region...
...foray into the Penn zone in the second half, the best opportunity coming when Smith challenged the Penn netminder one-on-one with just over six remaining. The Harvard captain, however, dribbled just a little too hard on the artificial surface and Tabak was able to thwart the potential tie-breaking effort...

A tie with the Quakers, victors over last year's NCAA semi-finalist Columbia, looked just fine...

The Brown-Dartmouth and Princeton-Dartmouth (in New Jersey) encounters would then have great significance to determine if either the Bruins or the Big Green will grab a share of the title. Brown concludes its season with what should provea routine game with the Lions in New York. And, of course, that extravaganza known only as The Game always possesses an aura all its own; the victor will achieve a moral triumph...
