Adding insult to injury, Ferrucci scored again less than a minute later, and from then on it was bye-bye Big Red, hello NCAAs.
"I think the first five or 10 minutes into the second half were the biggest part of the game," Ferrucci said.
"If I had to pick a turning point," Anderson said, "I would say it was Pat Marvin starting to win face-offs...clearly when we had possession on offense we were scoring and getting great opportunities."
Whatever the reason for the Crimson's turnaround, about all a Harvard fan could do for the rest of the game was sit back and enjoy the five-star, two-thumbs-up offensive spectacle.
Pat Marvin did a shake and bake at midfield to score unassisted near the end of the third that gave the Crimson a 14-9 lead.
Jim Bevilacqua was fantastic in the fourth period as he scored two goals in a grand total of eight seconds that gave Cornell almost no chance of coming back.
Ferrucci kept right on bothering senior goalie Michael LaRocco with lethal outside shots and had a total of five goals in the game.
And Eckert--well, you know the rest.
"I think our offense is just fantastic and when the rest of the pieces are together we are very, very tough and we are going to score goals," Anderson said.
When the Crimson faces Dartmouth at Ohiri Field this weekend, Eckert, who is number one in the nation in assists per game, will look to break the ali-time Harvard scoring record.
He is currently three points shy of this amazing feat. And for the rest of the seniors on the team, it will be their last home game in what has so far been a spectacular season.
