\u201cOur defense did an outstanding job today of getting stops and getting the ball to the offense,\u201d said UAlbany head coach <\/a>Scott Marr<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cThen Miles [Thompson] and Lyle [Thompson] took over when we realized Harvard was not sliding to them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the win, Miles Thompson and <\/a>Ty Thompson<\/a><\/strong> jumped to tie for third all-time in goals, with each having 120 in their career.\u00a0 Miles Thompson also is now sixth all-time in career points with 190 total.\u00a0 Lyle Thompson is now eighth all-time in career points with 169.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Harvard (1-2), Will Walker and Brendan Newman each had two goals.\u00a0 The loss went to goalie Jake Gambitsky, who saved eight shots in 60 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harvard dominated time of possession early, scoring the first two goals from Brian O\u2019Toole and Sean McDonagh in the game\u2019s opening 5:28.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany responded in the next 11 minutes, with Miles Thompson pushing against a defender one-on-one numerous times, earning four consecutive goals to push the home team up 4-2 with 12:43 in the second quarter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Crimson stopped the run with two goals in the coming three minutes to tie the game at 4-4.\u00a0 The Thompson trio took over for the remainder of the quarter.\u00a0 Miles Thompson set up brother Lyle for the go-ahead goal at the 7:39 mark in the second.\u00a0 Lyle Thompson added another two minutes later, then with a man-up situation in the closing minutes of the half, found Miles for another score, putting UAlbany up 7-4 going into halftime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miles Thompson added another goal out of the gate in the third quarter, with Ty Thompson netting a score not long after to complete the 5-0 run and push the Great Danes to lead 9-4 with 10:27 left in the third.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Harvard defense held steady the rest of the period, adding two goals in the quarter\u2019s latter minutes to make it 9-6 going into the fourth.\u00a0 Riordan stood strong in the cage for UAlbany, getting attacked with nine shots on goal in the third, saving seven of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding his seventh goal, Miles Thompson scored first in the fourth period, with <\/a>Adam Osika<\/a><\/strong> also scoring unassisted to make it 11-6.\u00a0 Walker put up his second for Harvard to bring the Crimson within four, but two more Lyle Thompson goals late sealed the game for UAlbany.\u00a0 Miles Thompson added his eighth as UAlbany took the win 14-8.<\/span><\/p>\n
