Harvard's Killorn had a clear shot but stopped by Scrivens' body and the Crimson couldn't capitalize on the rebound, closing out the first period.

7:28 pm by Allie Perez:

Joe Devin intercepted a Harvard pass and the Red almost took it all the way.

7:27 pm by Allie Perez:

No luck for Harvard on the power play.

7:25 pm by Allie Perez:

A minute and a half after the goal, the Red's Krueger is called for the first penalty of the game. Frustration, maybe?

7:21 pm by Allie Perez:
