Harper scored a pair a minute apart, and freshman Leslie Moroz added another 30 seconds later with Burg picking up two assist, as Harvard took a 3-0 lead just 3:36 after the opening whistle.
"We were successful early in the game because our transition was great," Burg said. "People were moving quickly, the pace was fast, we were aggressive and very confident."
The Tigers wasted little time coming back, however, as Smith scored nine seconds later on a faceoff win by Maddox, assisted by Miller
Less than a minute later, Maddox followed up with goal of her own to bring the Tigers to within one before Kenworthy tied the game, 3-3.
Kenworthy's goal was Princeton's third goal in a span of 1:33 as the Tigers and Crimson combined for an exciting opening with six goals in the first five minutes.
The Tigers' sticks would stay hot, however, and the Crimson's would not.
Princeton pocketed another pair to take a 5-3 lead before Harvard freshman Katie O'Brien stopped the Tigers' 5-0 run with a goal of her own 12:25 into the game.
