The Crimson would add a goal in the third period to put the game further out of reach. Freshman Tim Pettit added a goal that was assisted by sophomore Dominic Moore. Senior center Harry Schwefel scored the first Crimson goal of the game at 18:12 of the first period.

Despite freshmen accounting for three goals, and despite the fact that 12 different players got in on the scoring, Mazzoleni was not too happy with his team's play.

"We have more balance than we had last year," Mazzoleni said. "I didn't think we had a good edge the whole night. We were opportunistic on our chances and we got an excellent game from Jonas."

Coach Mazzoleni may have seen areas for improvement, and he may not even have been that impressed with the team's play, but freshman Rob Fried had reason to be, walking from Bright Hockey Center with the game winning puck stuffed into his coat pocket.

Vermont 5, Harvard 3

Vermont returned to ECAC action with a roar Friday night, upsetting Harvard, 5-3, with a dramatic third-period comeback.

It was the Catamounts' first win in 10 months. Vermont's schedule was cut short last year after a hazing scandal forced the cancellation of the remainder of its season last January.

Harvard led 3-1 late in the second period, and controlled the opening 40 minutes of play before Vermont rallied with four unanswered goals.
