But this time, the Crimson managed to claw its way out, using a strong performance from the free-throw line to forge a 69-59 victory over Columbia (8-10, 1-4 Ivy) on Friday night. Harvard (12-6, 4-1) went 21-for-27 from the stripe on the game, including 9-of-10 over the final 5:39 to seal the win. The Crimson held a 56-53 lead with under six minutes to go when freshman...

Senior guard Michael Beal tied a career high with five field goals and tied a season high in points with 12—the fourth-straight game in which he has reached double digits...
Late in the game, however, the experienced squad fought back to help Harvard claw its way back into the contest. In the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs were held to a lone field goal. Yale relinquished possession twice on turnovers and once on downs late in the game when the Harvard run defense held tough to stop Spencer twice...
