GAME FLOW & NOTES
- The Friars had the better of the opportunities through the opening 20 minutes, out-shooting the Crimson by a 17-11 margin. Providence jumped out to an 8-2 edge in shots through the first four minutes, but were stymied by Merrick Madsen, who made several point-blank stops.
- Kasper Björkqvist had the best chance of the period but was stopped by a sprawling Madsen.
- Ryan Tait and Erik Foley led the Friars with four shots apiece in the first period.
- Harvard cashed in the power play just 1:09 into the second period as Tyler Moy beat Hayden Hawkey on a wrist shot from the bottom of the circle.
- Providence had good looks on their first power play of the night, generating four shots on goal.
- Harvard extended its lead to 2-0 at the 17:46 mark as Adam Fox lifted a backhander from the top of the crease over the pad of Hawkey.
- The Friars are 3-4-3 against teams in this year's tournament field. Providence was the only team to earn a weekend series win over No. 1 overall seed Denver this season, earning a 2-2 tie and a 3-1 win over the Pioneers in Providence. The Friars swept Hockey East Regular Season and Tournament Champion UMass Lowell, 4-3 and 3-2 in January and dropped series to Boston University (0-1-1) and Notre Dame (0-3-1).
- Providence is just one of four NCAA Division I programs all-time to send its basketball and hockey teams to the NCAA Tournament in the same season for four consecutive years (Boston College, Michigan, and Michigan State).
