Freshman forward Rob Fried led the way for the Crimson by scoring his first two collegiate goals, and Jonas had a strong game in net.

Fried, who scored the eventual game-winner in the midst of a three-goal Crimson flurry in the second period, was not on the Crimson's first line Friday night against Vermont, but drew the start as a result of junior forward Jeff Stonehouse's groin pull. After the Crimson put consistent pressure on Dartmouth goalie Nick Boucher, Fried's goal came during a fierce battle for the puck, which was loose in front of the net at 8:15 of the second period.

"Steve Moore and Tyler Kolarik made my job extremely easy," Fried said. "They are great players; guys like that make my job easy."

While Fried attempted to downplay the significance of his two goals and the part they played in the team's win, Coach Mark Mazzoleni was positive in reference to the impact of his freshman.

"Robbie Fried responded very well," Mazzoleni said. "Good things happen when you play hard."

Earlier in the second period, Crimson junior defenseman Peter Capouch gave the Crimson its opening goal of the second period and began the offensive flurry that would propel the Crimson to victory. Sophomore defenseman Aaron Kim found Capouch on the blueline for a hard shot that found its way past Boucher. That goal put the Crimson up 3-0, but the score wouldn't remain there long.

At 15:13 of the second, Dartmouth's Mike Turner unleashed a hard shot that Jonas turned aside but couldn't scoop up. With the puck loose out in front of the net, Dartmouth's Jamie Herrington collected the rebound and put it past Jonas to pull Dartmouth within two.

That would be as close as Dartmouth would get for the rest of the game, and three-and-a-half minutes later, Fried again found the back of the net by being in the right place at the right time. Captain Steve Moore took the puck in and fired a shot that Boucher deflected. Fried was out banging in front of the net and collected his second goal when he gathered the deflection and slipped it by Boucher.
