Harvard gets its chance of the season to win an Ivy League hockey game tonight at 8 p.m. when Princeton visits Watson Rink.
Tonight's meeting will not be one of Ivy giants--Harvard is 0-3 in the league, and Princeton is 0-5. But where the Tigers have managed to win only three of their first 16 varsity games, the Crimson at least has won five of 16.
Harvard's record is as misleading as it is unusual. In two one-goal losses to Boston College and its 1-0 overtime defeat by Boston University, the Crimson proved it can play on even terms with the best two teams in the East. But with the exception of its 2-1 victory over Providence, Harvard has lost every one of its close games.
Tigers Beat Dartmouth
Princeton has now two fewer games than Harvard, and its losses have been more one-sided than the Crimson's. The Tigers have beaten only Midlebury, R.P.I., Dartmouth (in a non-league game).
Brown still leads the Ivy League with a 5-0 mark, but Dartmouth (4-1) and Cornell (3-2) are still within striking distance. Yale follows at 2-3 and then come Harvard and Princeton.
Harvard is going to have trouble climbing up to the first division of the league, where it's finished for 12 straight years. But at least the Crimson should win an Ivy game tonight.
