Princeton went on an 8-0 run, scoring four goals in the first 2:41 of the second half to seal the victory.
"When Princeton started to score, we lost a lot of confidence," Burg said. "Things just went downhill from there."
Freshman goaltender Nora Guyer kept Harvard in the game through the first half, stopping 22 shots.
Guyer's magic was not enough, however, as the Tigers outshot the Crimson, 37-12.
Princeton junior Julie Shaner and sophomore Kim Smith scored four apiece, and co-captain Hilary Maddox added a pair.
Maddox's proficiency on draws and the Tigers' height advantage were crucial as Princeton dominated control of the faceoffs.
"Draws are always key," Burg said. "They start off every attack. Princeton had a very tall team and was able to get most of the draws. When we were playing well, however, we were getting the draws. It's that important."
