Lissy still holds the school record for most goals in a season. He found the net 22 times during the championship season. Lissy’s teams also won two Middle Atlantic Conference championships. Upon his graduation in 1962, Lissy was second on the school’s all-time list in both career scoring with 61 points and in single-season scoring with 29 points.
