ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Sophomore forward Matthew Coronato scored a shorthanded goal, and senior goaltender Mitchell Gibson made a season high 43 saves, but No. 9/9 Harvard men's ice hockey (7-1-1) suffered its first loss of the season in a 4-1 defeat at No. 5/5 Michigan (10-5-1).

HOW IT HAPPENED

Michigan scored early and late in the first period to take a two-goal lead into the first break. Mark Estapa put in a rebound at 2:03.

Then with 30 seconds to play in the frame, Mackie Samoskevich scored from the high slot to make it 2-0.

Harvard got stronger as the game went on and generated several quality scoring chances in the second period. At the eight-minute mark, junior forward Sean Farrell kept the puck on a 2-on-1 chance and fired a shot off the left pad of Erik Portillo (39 saves).

Then late in the period, junior forward Alex Laferriere toe dragged around a defender and shot quickly, forcing Portillo to make a left skate stop.

Harvard scored its fifth shorthanded goal of the season early in the third period, as senior defenseman Henry Thrun cut to the net on a 2-on-1 rush. His initial shot was stopped, but Coronato was there to put in the rebound at 1:42.

Harvard continued to pile up shots and scoring chances with the game at 2-1, but it was Michigan that would score next, as Rutger McGroarty's wrist shot at 13:07 made it a two goal game once again.

Seamus Casey scored an empty netter for Michigan at 18:18 to seal the win for the home team.
