Learning from the mistakes of '21, new head coach Powers had the team hit the ice as soon as the football season had finished.
Though not unexpected, the loss was an ill omen for MIT's season and things weren't expected to get any easier in the next game.
Unfortunately, BC was one of the top offensive teams in the country and were able to claw their way back in the final two periods to give the Engineers their first intercollegiate loss of the season.
After shaking off their doldrums, MIT exploded for 6 goals, exploiting an Aggie squad that expended all of its energy in the first two periods.
MIT wasn't able to keep up with their speedier opponents and time and again a solo rush up the ice ended with a Harvard goal.
Fortunately, by the time they hit the road for the final match, the Engineers had shaken themselves out of their funk and were ready to end the season on a high note.
