Holding a one-goal lead after two periods in Ithaca, N.Y., Harvard’s upset bid fell apart as fifth-ranked Cornell busted loose for four goals to rout the Crimson, 6-3, last night.

Second-period goals by Conor Morrison and Alex Fallstrom gave Harvard (1-2-0, 1-2-0 ECAC) a 3-2 advantage, but the Big Red (3-0-0, 2-0-0) put four of their 10 shots in the third past Crimson goaltender Ryan Carroll. All four goals came within the first 13:29 of the period.

Joe Devin had two scores for Cornell, including the winner. Mike Devin had one goal and three assists.

Yale 3, Union 3 - Kelly Zajac’s second goal gave the host Dutchmen (3-3-3, 0-0-2 ECAC) a 3-1 lead heading into the final period, but Broc Little (8:49) and Sean Backman (19:53) pulled the sixth-ranked Bulldogs (1-1-1, 0-1-1) even.

Rensselaer 3, Brown 1 - The host Engineers (6-3-1, 2-0-0 ECAC) put two power-play goals behind Bears goalie Mike Clemente (25 saves). Devin Timberlake scored for Brown (0-2-1, 0-1-1).

Sacred Heart 5, Holy Cross 4 - Jordan Cyr’s two goals weren’t enough for the Crusaders (3-4-1, 3-2-1 Atlantic Hockey) in Worcester. The Pioneers moved to 3-3-1, 2-1-0.
