For most teams, Fusco is a marked man. Teams try to stop him anyway they can.
"I think that's another tribute to Scott and his ability," Harvard Coach Bill Cleary said. "Every night he goes out on the ice, he is the focus of the other team. And he's taken a lot of punishment."
But the punishment has been worth it. And now Fusco can put his trophy of Hobey Baker--a Princeton player in the early 1900s--along with his brother's in the family trophy case.
