HAMDEN, Conn.-Eric Lampe recorded a hat trick
and Quinnipiac took advantage of eight penalties by the Harvard
men's hockey team to defeat the Crimson, 5-1, Friday night at TD
Bank Sports Center.
Michael Biega scored the lone goal for the Crimson (1-2-0, 1-2-0
ECAC Hockey), tying the game early in the second period. Louis
Leblanc and Alex Killorn assisted, extending Leblanc's
career-opening point streak to four games and giving he and Killorn
a team-high six points each. The Bobcats scored four unanswered
goals over the final two periods and went 2 for 8 on the power
play. Harvard was 0 for 4 with the man advantage.
Quinnipiac held a 33-28 shots advantage. Bobcats goalie Dan Clarke
made 27 saves, one on a third-period penalty shot by Killorn. Kyle
Richter registered 28 stops for Harvard, allowing four goals.
Quinnipiac capitalized on its second power play of the game, with
Lampe scoring from a crowd in front 32.9 seconds before the end of
the first period. Each squad logged 11 first-period shots.
The Crimson equalized on Biega's first goal of the season. The
junior pushed in the rebound of a shot on the rush from the right
side by Leblanc following a Killorn pass. Quinnipiac took back the
lead less than three minutes later on a goal by Scott Zureviski.
The Bobcats made it 3-1 about three minutes after that, when
Lampe's shot banked in off a skate.
Harvard outshot Quinnipiac, 12-10, over the final 20 minutes, but
the Bobcats had the only two goals of the third period. Lampe
completed his hat trick at 10:53 of the frame, on the power play.
Shortly thereafter, Clarke stopped Killorn's backhand attempt on a
penalty shot after a QU player covered the puck with his hand in
the crease. Jeremy Langlois scored an empty-net goal to put the
game away at 17:24.
