DeVries had three goals and three assists on the day, and is settling into a role this year that felt uncomfortable last year.

"Last season was an adjustment period, and I was the one returning starter on offense from the year before in which we had a lot of seniors to rely on" DeVries said. "I had to feel out my role last year in the offense--it was personally very frustrating. This year it has been a much smoother transition because I have been playing with the same people and I have avoided injury."

In the second period, the Crimson showed the A-level stuff it had shown in the final period of the B.C. game. Playing like it was a shooting practice, the Crimson offense scored on six of seven consecutive shots to extend the lead to 10-0 by the end of the second stanza.

Sprong got his first of four goals on the day off a feed from DeVries at 7:08 as the Crimson once again took half the period to get its first score. Senior attackman Geoff Watson notched his first of the day only 10 seconds later after taking a pass from freshman midfielder Doug Logigian shortly after the face-off.

Baly, Primm and Watson all got their second of the game later in the period, and Sprong netted his third off a feed from junior attackman Roger Buttles as the Crimson put together the double-digit lead it would maintain for the rest of the contest.

Harvard's back line dominated play for the second straight weekend, and, more importantly, was strong in the transition. Of the 30 clears attempted, the Crimson got the ball into the offense's hands 25 times, a remarkable rate of conversion.

Senior goalie Keith Cynar was stellar in the cage for the second straight weekend, making 16 saves and allowing only two goals in 47 minutes of play.
