Harvard Powers Past Brown
PROVIDENCE, R.I.-Doug Rogers, Sam Bozoian, Alex Biega and Chad
Morin registered
multiple-point games to lead the Harvard men's hockey team to a 5-2
win against
Brown Friday night at Meehan Auditorium in the 156th installment in
college
hockey's oldest rivalry.
Biega, Rogers and Louis Leblanc scored power-play goals for the
Crimson (7-12-3,
6-6-3 ECAC Hockey, 4-3-1 Ivy League), while Rogers and Bozoian also
had
even-strength tallies to help Harvard improve to 4-1-1 in its last
six league
games. Ryan Carroll made 27 saves to lead a 9-for-10
penalty-killing effort.
Anthony Borelli made 21 saves for Brown (7-13-2, 5-8-2, 2-5-0) in
relief of
Mike Clemente, who stopped nine shots. Harvard outshot Brown,
35-29.
Harvard took an early two-goal lead with a four-on-four goal and a
power-play
goal barely two minutes apart. Rogers struck first. After Morin
passed to
Biega, Rogers grabbed the rebound of Biega's wide shot and banked a
bad-angle
backhand off Clemente and in from the left side. Biega notched a
goal of his
own with a slap shot from the point through traffic after passes
from Chris
Huxley and Alex Killorn. Marshall Everson nearly had a goal as
well, but his
deflection past Clemente hit the left post.
The Bears trimmed the margin to one goal after Huxley was whistled
for a
hitting-from-behind major. Jeff Buvinow scored on a low shot from
the left
faceoff dot. The Crimson survived the rest of that
five-minute power play,
including an 80-second two-man disadvantage, and another penalty to
take a 2-1
lead to the first intermission. Harvard held a 9-6 edge
first-period shots.
Bozoian gave Harvard a 3-1 lead in the second period. Bozoian
tipped in the
first goal of his career off Chad Morin's one-timer of a pass from
Rogers.
Brown again cut into the lead with a goal five minutes before the
end of the
frame, off the stick of Francis Drolet. Brown outshot Harvard by a
13-11 margin
in the period as the Crimson killed another hitting-from-behind
major, by Danny
Biega, that spanned the second intermission.
Leblanc made it 4-2 by banging home the puck from the left side
after a pass
from Bozoian, who got the rebound of Killorn's shot from the slot.
Harvard
finished the game on a power play after Brown's Aaron Volpatti was
issued a
major penalty of his own. Rogers added an empty-netter in the final
minute,
breaking up a Bears clear and burying a shot from the blue line.
Harvard held a
15-10 shots advantage in the final stanza.
