Box Score
The Green & White began the day playing the host Crimson. For the fourth straight game, the Seahawks struck first, as junior Oliver Fodor continued his strong weekend with an early goal before senior Vuk Bulajic doubled Wagner's lead. Harvard eventually battled back throughout the seesaw opening frame as freshman Andrej Bosica tallied a first quarter hat trick. Wagner carried a 5-4 lead into the second quarter.

The back and forth battle continued, as Harvard junior Alex Tsotadze gave the Crimson a 7-6 lead with 5:16 remaining in the first half, their first lead of the contest. Goals from Fodor and junior Shaked Yacoby brought the game to an 8-8 stalemate heading into the break. Wagner went 4-for-8 on man advantages, while Harvard went 1-for-3. Sophomore Zsombor Gyemant and Fodor finished the first 16 minutes with a pair of goals apiece.

The second half began with Harvard scoring two goals in the first forty-six seconds including one from Andrej Basica, who would finish with seven goals. Fodor completed his hat trick to cut the Crimson lead to 10-9, but that's the closest Wagner got the rest of the way, as Harvard outscored Wagner 8-4 in second half. A key factor was the play of Crimson junior goalkeeper Noah Hodge, who had 21 blocks in the contest to keep Harvard in front. Fodor continued his strong weekend with five goals; Gyemant finished with two goals and three assists.
