In last Saturday’s win over Cornell, Fucito did just that in scoring the third goal of the game. He effectively ended up securing the win for an elated Harvard team, only to come up with a repeat performance Tuesday.

Fucito knocked in the second goal for the Crimson in the 69th minute of play after Crusader freshman forward Marsalis Beckford tied up the game at 1-1 earlier in the half.

“[Mike] really gives us offensive momentum,” Wiggin said.

Fucito’s momentum could not have come earlier as the team has been wanting offensively all season. They have been struggling to gain the momentum required to score goals.

“[It] is something we lacked before,” Wiggin said.

Junior Nick Tornaritis also put in his second goal of the last two games. He scored the first goal for Harvard—knocking in a shot from inside the box in the 37th minute of the first half.

The Crimson’s ability to score goals in the first half has been a major factor in bringing home more wins for the team. Being able to go into the second half with the lead instead of playing catch up is a huge confidence builder according to the team.

“You feel that if you can just then defend for 45 minutes you can win the game,” Craig said.

Harvard’s last goal was brought in by sophomore forward Matt Hoff who deflected the ball from the Holy Cross goalie Richard Whipple’s attempt to clear in the 85th minute of play—crushing Holy Cross’s hopes for a comeback.

The Crimson now heads into their biggest game of the season so far against No. 21 Brown this Sunday with back to back wins against Cornell and Holy Cross.

“We know control our own destiny,” Wiggin said. “The Ivy League is wide open right now.”

And the Harvard team couldn’t be happier about their chances right now. If they can pull out a win this Sunday against Brown anything could happen. Gametime is Sunday at 1:00 pm on Stevenson Field in Providence.
