Harvard opened its season with a dominating win against the Catamounts, though the results of the game were mixed.
Less than two minutes had passed in the game before Pell tallied the first of her two goals. Junior Philomena Gambale passed the ball across goal from the right side of the circle and Pell finished off the play with a goal.
With 7:05 remaining in the half, Vermont freshman Meghan Carey passed the pass from the top of the circle to sophomore Katie Henry who was waiting by the left side of the goal. Henry pushed the ball past the right of Zacarian to tie the game 1-1.
But with 5:08 until halftime, Pell broke out of a mob in front of the goal to push the ball past junior Holly Colberg, giving the Crimson a 2-1 lead at the half.
Harvard got a fast start in the second half when Gannon stole the ball in the left midfield and sent it into New Hampshire’s circle, leading to a penalty corner.
Just a minute and a pass from the right later, Egnaczyk scored an unassisted goal at 32:52 to bring the Crimson to a 3-2 advantage.
“The freshmen have been really stepping it up,” Pell said. “We’ve got a really great young class coming in who’ve been contributing a lot, especially in the midfield. Developing them more is going to be an awesome asset to the team.”
