When a basketball team enters halftime having scored twice as many points as its opponent, it usually wins. That was the scenario the Harvard women’s basketball team enjoyed on Monday night as the Crimson (4-9) took a 42-20 halftime lead over lowly Colgate (2-10) en route to an 80-62 triumph at Lavietes Pavilion. Harvard never trailed and used an 18-0 run midway through the first quarter to turn a 17-11 lead into a 35-11 lead. Colgate failed to score for an eight-minute stretch as the Crimson ran away...
