From the long corridor of people came a roar that built into a crescendo. "We've got a winner," the man to the right yelled. The radio reports had been right, for striding down the asphalt, flanked by police motorcycles, was Neil Cusack of East Tennessee State, eating up the last few yards. Far above, the Prudential Center loomed in the suddenly grey sky as the crowd whistled and screamed its approval...
Providence employs a so-called "checking line" of three juniors, Pete Valenti, Rich Cabalka and Rich Cusack. Among them the line has scored only 17 goals.
