Harvard progressed in the execution of Mazzoleni's puck-pressure system. Opposition goaltenders Eric Almon and Robert Delwo of Dartmouth and Andrew Allen of Vermont usually found a swarm of players around them.
The Crimson scoring came in bunches.
Harvard held a 2-1 lead through most of the second period against the Big Green, but a wrist shot from senior defenseman Matt Scorsune at 14:52 opened a three-goal outburst in the span of five minutes to turn a tight game into a rout.
Harvard actually trailed, 3-2 entering the third period against the Catamounts on Saturday before sophomore defenseman Peter Capouch tied up the game on the power play at 6:56, sparking a four-goal final frame.
All told, 14 different Crimson players appeared in the score sheet for the weekend.
"We really wanted to start this season and sort of send a message to the league that we're gonna be real contenders this year," senior goaltender J.R. Prestifilippo said. "We wanted to get the offense going and that's what we did."
