When Harvard went up 4-1 at 16:48 of the second period, the crowd went crazy. The band chanted its nasty "Sieve" jeer at Dartmouth goaltender Eric Almon, who was then removed in the third period for Robert Delwo.

An excited Harvard crowd of 2,449 made even more noise on Saturday as Harvard came from behind in the third period to win. The home-team fans proved that they not only could make up for the band's absence--they were away at the football game--but also down out the Vermont alumni who made the trip for the game.

Down 3-2 to begin the third period, Harvard came out composed and confident in the new system Mazzoleni has been teaching them in the past weeks. When sophomore Peter Capouch sailed a slap shot from the right point by Vermont goaltender Andrew Allen for a power play goal at 6:56, the Harvard fans erupted.

"The power play goal was huge," Mazzoleni said. "It gave us a jump start."

Minutes later, Moore scored his third goal of the weekend, and the arena went nuts again.

"We like the new system and it's great to see fans in the stands," captain Trevor Allman said. "It picks us up, as it did in the third period [against Vermont]."

Strong fan support has been a rare sight at Bright and the players recognized that, raising their sticks to the crowd after each game.
