Both B.U. and B.C. won Monday night, not because of their stars, but because of their no-names.
Baker, B.U.'s hat trick hero, had five goals on the season and had never had a multi-goal game prior to obtaining Beanpot glory.
The same was true for Eagle freshman forward Krys Kolanos, who came into the Beanpot with-guess what?-five goals, before potting a hat trick of his own and outshining top B.C. prospect Jeff Farkas.
On the other side of the puck, there were no surprise stars for the Crimson Monday night.
The top Crimson line of Moore, freshman winger Brett Nowak, and junior winger Chris Bala might have been able to skate with B.U.'s top line, but the Terriers' depth bit the Crimson down the stretch.
The moral of the story for the Crimson faithful is simple.
Whereas Stone was able to spin straw into gold in just one season for the Harvard women's team, Mazzoleni's job has not been so easy.
It will take at least a couple of years of recruiting and more top recruits like Moore and Nowak to bring another NCAA banner to the Bright Hockey Center.
