...dominating 20-5 run in the first half. The run erased Harvard’s seven-point lead, its largest, which came five minutes into the game. Dartmouth was able to score, seemingly at will, with short jumpers and aggressive drives to the basket. The Crimson was left playing catch-up the rest of the way and finally fell short in overtime...
