HOW IT HAPPENED

After a scuffle in front of the Harvard net, Alex Tuch knocked in the game's first goal at the 7:59 mark to give the Eagles the early 1-0 lead. Colin White was credited with the assist after initially throwing it at the net while Ryan Fitzgerald got the secondary. Tuch's 16th of the season was his first NCAA Tournament goal.

Junior Austin Cangelosi tipped in the Eagles second goal with 1:02 remaining in the first frame to extend BC's lead. On the team's first power play of the evening, Miles Wood began the play by skating the length of the Harvard zone, coming behind the Crimson net, and firing a wrister from the top of the circle. Cangelosi, sitting in the front right of the crease, beat the netminder glove side for the goal.

Tuch found the back of the net a second time, 1:59 into the second period, when he took a pass from Scott Savage near center ice and skated past the Crimson defense. Tuch's shot went top-corner to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead.

Harvard chipped away at the Eagles lead in the second period, bouncing one over the glove of Demko 9:50 into the second period to get on the board. After grabbing the puck in the BC zone, Jake Horton's nifty pass ahead to Seb Lloyd in front of the Eagles net was converted for the Crimson's first goal.

Austin Cangelosi added an empty netter at 17:33 of the third period to finish off the Crimson. Chris Calnan was credited with the assist.
