Dominic Moore sparked the weekend with a dream first college strike. Taking the puck down the left wing, he undressed Dartmouth defender Carl Desjardins, sliding the puck ahead of him and lifting his stick up and over him. He then executed a triple deke on Almon to give Harvard a 1-0 lead.

Nowak followed him at 14:20 of the second, deflecting a well-screened Capouch floater from the left point to hand Harvard a 2-0 lead.

"Definitely, it will be memorable," said Moore of his first goal. "I really don't think when I am in those situations. I just took it to the backhand and saw five-hole was open and slid it through."

The momentum started to shift Dartmouth's way after center Mike Murray rounded out the scoring in the first period.

However, with the puck flopping around the Crimson goal for a good portion of the second period, Prestifilippo kept the puck out, making a number of good stops, including robbing winger Mike Maturo on a breakaway at 3:23.

Prestifilippo picked up right where he left off in his 1-0 shutout last weekend, finishing with 31 saves.

"I thought at times we were real puck-lucky," Mazzoleni said. "The puck bounced very, very well for us. I think a big difference was Prestifilippo. I think we out-goaltended them."
