"When you are starting a combined 10 freshmen and sophomores, you better hope that some of them get on the score sheet if you are going to have any offense," Mazzoleni said.
Freshman winger Tim Petit gave Harvard the go ahead goal early in the second period against Vermont. Pettit took the puck from deep in his own zone and notched his first collegiate goal at 4:58, only 34 seconds after assistant captain Chris Bala put the Crimson on the board.
"I just took the puck to the net," Pettit said. "A Vermont player was generous enough to finish it off for me."
Pettit was also responsible for the final Harvard insurance goal against the Big Green in its 5-2 victory.
Dominic Moore made a pass from behind the net to Pettit, lurking in the slot, who sent a rebound shot past the line at 7:12 in the final stanza.
But all eyes were on rookie Rob Fried in the second period against Dartmouth as he put up both his first and second career goals with Harvard Saturday night. Amidst a flurry of Crimson shots on the Big Green's Nick
Boucher, Fried took a poke from freshman Tyler Kolarik and slammed home his own rebound at 8:15.
