Harvard took the lead 64 seconds later. Tony Visone failed to control a pass from Shayne Kukulowicz on a Crimson two-on-one, but again the Terriers couldn't clear. Visone soon got the puck again and dumped it into an unguarded side of the net from five feet away.
Fighty three seconds later, the Crimson widened the gap on a more picturesque tally. Rob Wheeler working a crisp give-and-go with Rob Starbuck, taking the return pass just in time to slam it between Daskalakis's pads.
B.U. didn't get many chances to come back. Its best was a power play late in the period, in which it tested Blair with four hard but tutile slapshots in quick succession.
Early in the final 20 the Terriers had two threats serious enough to force Smith and then Code to play goalie momentarily. But after Blair used his pads and stick to smother a blast by Pierog from between the circles with seven minutes left. B.U looked unexpectedly flat, almost resigned as the clock ran down. Its only success was in avoiding an open-net goal (just barely), when Kukulowicz hit the post with three seconds remaining.
THE NOTEBOOK: Three different lines scored for Harvard last night. The Crimson's chance to extend its record to 4-0 will come Saturday night at Brown, before a Sunday night home game versus RPI. . .B.U., one of the preseason favorites for the ECAC crown, now stands at 1-2 in conference play.
