Scott Fusco smashed the all-time Harvard goal-scoring record at Cornell Sunday--and did it with a flourish.
His two scores were the 91st and 92nd of his his career, which tied and then broke the record that Olympian Bobby Cleary '58 established 27 years ago.
On top of the two tallies, Fusco dished out four assists. To reach 193 career points, you've obviously had some seven and eight point nights to help you along.
Not Fusco.
The six-point night was the best of his career.
And the Captain's six point effort came against a strong team in Lynah Rink, where hating Harvard is like loving your mother.
Fusco also reached the century mark in assists with his third helpout in Ithaca, N.Y. He needs 26 more to tie Joe Cavanagh '71, who holds the all-time record of 127.
Fusco, who slipped into second place on the all-time scoring list--past Cavanagh--with his 10-point weekend, is now just two points from tying and three from breaking Cleary's record of 195 points.
One hundred goals and two hundred points are just around the corner for the Burlington sensation.
And he did it all against Cornell. And he paced the Crimson to an 11-3 victory over the used-to-be Big Red.
In Lynah.

Fusco garnered Ivy Player of the Week honors for his two goal, eight assist weekend. He was also named ECAC Co-Player of the Week, along with Yale's Mike Schwalb.
The Elis' junior goalie racked up 45 saves against Clarkson and then 46 stops--21 in the final period--against St. Lawrence.
While Cambridge and New Haven split the award, the Belmont Hill School garnered a clean sweep, as both Fusco and Schwalb are graduates and veterans of Coach Ken Martin's outstanding boys' hockey program.
