November 29

Highlights:

Who: Harvard

Where: Cambridge, MA

Result: Michigan wins 4-3 (OT)

Goals: Horcoff, Will (2); Hage, Michael (1); Park, Aidan (1

Goalie: Jack Ivankovich

Of Note: Once again dominating the game, the Wolverines scored three goals in the second period to hold a commanding lead into the final period. The tables turned quickly, however, as the uncharacteristically sloppy play by the Wolverines saw Harvard notch three goals of its own in the third period to force overtime. U-M found its hero in the overtime period from none other than Will Horcoff, who scored with two minutes left to go in the extra period. Horcoff added a goal earlier in the game and has now scored 18 goals in 18 games this season for the Wolverines.
