Crimson Heavy Favorite Over Colgate and Cornell; Must Watch Complacency

Red Raider netminders Shawn Murray and Matt Weder have collected 198 saves this season but have a 4.75 goals-against average.

With the departure of goalie Parris Duffus who signed a contract with the St. Louis Blues, Cornell has relied on sophomore Andy Bandurski who has made 165 saves with a 4.34 goals-against average.

"They'll probably play defensively and wait for us to make a mistake," Harvard Coach Ronn Tomassonni said.

The Crimson has not lost an ECAC game this season, and the team is coming off a 4-2 victory over Brown, what Tomassonni called "probably our best game of the season so far."

Cautious Crimson

It's very hard then to imagine the Crimson losing this weekend. But that's how complacency creeps into a team's skates, gloves and minds, a fact Harvard seems well prepared to deal with.

"When you play the record game, that's when you make a serious mistake," Tomassonni said.

Drury said that the Crimson knows that it must be cautious when it plays squads that are struggling. "We're making sure that we don't take any team lightly," Drury said.
