"It got down to 10 minutes left, someone had to make something happen," center Scott Fusco said. That someone was Fusco, and that something was a goal off a nifty pass from Lane MacDonald in the left corner Fusco, working double shifts, struck again three minutes later, knocking in a backhand rebound of a Rob Ohno point shot.
The goals upped Fusco's consecutive games with a point streak to 24, trying him with Coach Cleary's brother Bob in the Harvard record book.
The second Fusco goal cut the St. Lawrence lead to one and gave the Crimson the momentum it had been seeking all evening.
After a couple of excellent opportunities, freshman Don Sweeney connected on the game-tier from the blue-line at 17:14.
"Lane [MacDonald] had it in the corner," Sweeney said after scoring his second goal of the year. "He got it from Scotty [Fusco], who sees everybody on the ice, and he banked it to me.
"I shot and the puck went through about 15 legs."
After Tim Barakett missed the SLU net by less than six inches with time running but, the Crimson flew into overtime on a three-goal roll.
Castron ended any hope of a Harvard victory, however, with his quick goal. First Period Second Period Third Period 4, H. Scott Fusco 27 (Lane MacDonald Kwong) 11 15, 5, H.
