Terriers Lose To Crimson In Battle of Power Plays
November 21, 2000 | Men's Ice Hockey
BOSTON (Nov. 21) -- The Harvard hockey team showed a little more "power" than the Terriers on Tuesday night (November 21st) and the result was B.U.'s fourth straight loss-a 4-3 decision to the Crimson at Walter Brown Arena.
The Terriers, who head to the University of Denver on Friday night (November 24th) and Colorado College on Saturday night (November 25th) for their Thanksgiving weekend, are now 2-6-1.
All seven goals in Tuesday night's game were scored on the power play-Harvard was 4-of-7, while the Terriers were 3-for-7, and different players scored all seven of the goals.
With his team trailing 2-0 in the second period, junior Dan Cavanaugh (Springfield) tallied at 8:47 of the period to cut the Terriers' deficit to 2-1. The Crimson got the goal back with just 25 seconds to play in the period, as the Terriers entered the third period trailing 3-1.
B.U. scored twice in the third period, but it was not enough as the Crimson tallied once.
The Terrier goal scorers were sophomore Brian Collins (Shrewsbury) at 5:49 of the period and senior Carl Corazzini (Framingham) at 17:51.
B.U. did have four golden opportunities to add to their goal total but sophomore defenseman Freddy Meyer (Sanbornville, NH) hit the post with a shot. Senior Scott Perry (Dorchester) missed an open net. A Terrier goal was disallowed on a hand pass call from in close. Finally, in the closing seconds of the game, with senior goalie Jason Tapp (Kelowna, BC) pulled in favor of an added skater, a shot by senior Nick Gillis (Winthrop) hit the skate of Harvard defenseman Graham Morrell and it went just wide of the Harvard net.
Tapp stopped 14-of-18 Harvard shots, while the Crimson's Oliver Jonas had 26 saves en route to the win.
