Unfortunately, RPI Coach Dan Fridgen didn't see it that way.
"Harvard did a good job finding him when he was open," Fridgen said. "It doesn't take Mario Lemieux to score the goals he did. You could have put them in with one arm on the stick."
Perhaps the Dutchmen left Moore unattended in front of the net, giving him not one, but three golden opportunities. But I'd hardly call it a fluke. Perhaps Fridgen should swallow his pride and concede to the better player and the better team.
None of Moore's tallies were garbage goals. In fact, all three were well-executed and perfectly timed shots.
Moore backhanded a rebound from Pettit past RPI netminder Nathan Marsters at 14:51 in the opening frame to knot the score at one apiece for his first even-strength goal of the season. He sealed the trio with two more power-play tallies early in the second stanza, less than two minutes apart.
At 1:37, Moore launched a shot past Marsters on a pass from Bala behind the net.
Steve Moore hit his little brother low in the slot, allowing Dom to light the lamp for the third time at 3:18 with a top shelf shot.
