Redmen 4 - Harvard 3
Non-conference Game

Game Report by Earl Zukerman, McGill Athletics

CAMBRIDGE, Mass – Sophomore Charles Gauthier of Quebec City scored the game-winner with three minutes remaining as McGill overcame a 2-0 deficit and defeated Harvard 4-3 in men’s hockey at the Bright Hockey Center on Friday.

It was McGill’s first victory over the Crimson since a 2-1 decision at Harvard on Dec. 28, 1954.

Netminder Mathieu Poitras of Gatineau, Que., sparkled with 35 saves for the win as the Redmen were outshot 38-17.

Trailing 2-0 after one period, McGill rallied with second-period goals by Benoit Martin at 17:00 and Lucas Madill at 18:25.

Doug Orr of Newmarket, Ont., gave the Redmen a 3-2 lead with a power play marker at 3:08 of the final period but Harvard’s John Pelle tied with his second goal at 12:37.

The Crimson finished 1-for-10 on the power play, while McGill was 1-for-8.

McGill plays at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., Saturday, while Harvard will open its season on Oct. 29 when it hosts Dartmouth at 7 p.m.
