Possibly the greatest goal scorer in program history, Dan Gasbarre may not have scored the most goals for the Clarkson Men’s Soccer team, and he may not have scored the most frequently, but few played with a bigger ‘X' on their back for the entirety of their collegiate careers. A four-time conference all-star and four-time all-region player, Gasbarre produced some gaudy offensive numbers at a time when the program itself wasn't putting up huge goal totals.
As a freshman in 1984, Gasbarre burst on the scene with a 29-point season, scoring 12 goals and assisting on five others in 16 games, still tied as the top freshman campaign in program history. For an encore, Gasbarre notched 30 points in 15 games with 14 goals and two assists, but the most impressive part of the total was that he scored two-thirds of all of Clarkson’s goals (21) that year. He nearly duplicated the feat a year later, scoring half of the team's goals by tallying eight of the team’s 16, while also assisting on three others. Through his junior campaign, Gasbarre has 78 career points (34 goals, 10 assists), while no other player on the team had tallied more than nine career points.
As a senior, Gassbarre again led the team in scoring 19 points, thanks to nine goals and an assist, as the team reached the post-season for the second time in his career, earning a nod to the ECAC Tournament. The four-year striker finished his collegiate career with 97 points, a figure that is still tied for second all-time at Clarkson, while his 43 goals stand alone as the second-best figure in program history. He was chosen as an ICAC First-Team All-Star three times and for the Second-Team once, and also was picked All-New York State four times, earning First-Team status in his sophomore and senior campaigns.
