What was the Harvard SLU score?

[Todd '86]

Yet another hot goalie? It sounds like the effort was there tonight, but they boys have got to start finishing.

We're still in a home ice spot. If Harvard loses to the Saints (is that official yet?) we go no lower than third, and could still be tied for 2nd if Colgate and Dartmouth tie. Either way, looks like the race is for the #2 seed.

[Todd '86]

'Course, that only works if SLU held off Harvard, but that one ended in a 3-3 tie. Dartmouth beat Colgate, so Tech is tied with the Crimson for third now, one behind the Big Green, and one ahead of 'Gate.

After Cornell with their seven point lead:( , things get really tight. Second through eighth place are separated by 5 points. Just another ho-hum season in the ECAC, eh?
