The Crimson came out yesterday with rifles cocked. The first shot of the game, about one minute into the contest, was just wide, and it didn't take long at all for the Crimson to hit the target.

Kenworthy put the first goal in the net in the fifth minute after receiving a pass from midfielder Miles Welch, jaking out a defender, causing the Minuteman to slip, and hitting it past keeper Michael Sarnacki.

Midfielder Nikhil Singh, who has used his speed and high work rate to figure highly in the scoring throughout the season, put the second tally on the scoreboard in the 11th minute after he received a pass from Catliff, who hit it against the flow of play.

The Crimson outshot the Minutemen, 19-1, in the first half, but that was to prove to be only a drop in the bucket compared with the second.

Massachusetts came out inspired, and tried to get back into the game early in the second half. The Minutemen got the first two shots of the half, and for a while it looked as if they would get on the board.

But it was the hosts who continued the scoring.

Freshman winger Nick Hotchkin, one of the fastest Crimson booters, beat Sarnacki to a Catliff pass about 16 yards out on the left side of the penalty area, and he slid a low shot past the UMass netminder into the right side of the goal.

Catliff jumped onto the stat sheet again in the 58th minute when he headed a Matt Cameron cross to the left of Sarnacki, who got a hand on the shot but was not able to stop it.

The last goal of the contest was created by midfielder John Dales in the 82nd minute when be received a pass about 25 yards out, dribbled to yards past a UMass back, and unselfishly passed forward to Ken-worthy when he could have taken a shot himself.

The Harvard shipper didn't lot Daley or the team down though, as he calmly put the last tally in the nest.

THE NOTEBOOK: Harvard has won eight of its last nine games. The Crimson junior varsity was not as fortunate as the varsity, losing 10 to the Minuteman jayvees.
