Harvard 19, Fordham 8
Fordham was by far the Harvard's easiest opponent as nine different Crimson players scored against the Rams.
The Crimson's opening appearance displayed its depth as it broke through for a 19-8 rout.
"We have the deepest team on the East Coast," Zollei said. "We play four games in two days--we need a really deep team in order to do that well."
"Our whole mentality is based on what it takes to be a great team," he added.
Amassing one of its strongest records in years, Harvard has proved it is ready to contend for a top spot at Easterns.
"It's going to be some pretty tough competition but we are not afraid at all," Zollei said. "Sometimes we have some problems against less competitive teams, but against the better teams we step it up. We beat Navy earlier this year and almost beat Princeton. I'm totally confident; this weekend was a huge mental boost."
The Crimson will compete next in two weeks at Easterns at Brown University.
