The forward-turned-defender has recently been counted upon to spark Harvard’s attack in the dying minutes of the last two Ivy League matches.

With Fucito out for the rest of the game, Harvard lost its second-leading scorer and some of its offensive spark. Junior John Stamatis and Giammanco also sustained injuries during the game. As a result, many players came off the bench to pick up the slack, with freshman Allen Padua and sophomore Adam Rousmaniere each tallying a shot. “The substitutes came off the bench and give us a big lift...
