...over the first five minutes of the second half to bury any Harvard hopes for a big non-conference upset, downing the Crimson 76-63 yesterday in Harvard’s home opener at Lavietes Pavilion.“I thought we only played half a game, or two thirds of a game,” Delaney-Smith said. “It’s pretty disappointing when you play a team as good as Marist, because we could have definitely played with them.”Marist’s second-half run included eight straight points from...
...Crimson had Saturday. Down 43-31 at halftime of the first-round game, the Crimson needed some of the efficient offense it would get after the break in yesterday’s win. It came in spurts, but it took a while—Loyola’s second-half lead ballooned to 14 on a three-pointer by Meredith Tolley with 12:13 to play. From then on, Harvard chipped away. A three-minute run in the middle of the period saw the Crimson hold the Greyhounds scoreless, and consecutive layups from Finelli, Markley, and Tay (five assists, five...
...Crimson headed into halftime with a 1-0 lead. Just four minutes into the second half, Harvard committed a foul, giving a penalty free kick to the Lions. Ashlin Yahr was granted the shot and sent it into the back left corner past a diving Mann. With the early second-half goal, Columbia tied the game at one.

After the goal, Harvard stepped up its performance and controlled possession throughout the second frame. But the shots fired by Baskind...
...success as the game wore on Saturday, including the game-sealing touchdown run. The Crimson entered the contest with the second-best rushing offense in an admittedly pass-happy Ivy League, but managed just 3.0 yards per carry and 88 yards against a Princeton defense that was giving up 154.0 yards per game and 4.0 yards per carry coming in. On the upside, the Crimson tallied 60 rushing yards in the third quarter alone, kick-starting its second-half comeback. “Clutch plays on defense and then on the final drive on offense, the final two drives, what...
PRINCETON, N.J.—It took the Harvard run defense two quarters to return to true form Saturday, and it nearly cost the Crimson the game. Before the break, the Tigers offense ran all over Harvard, only to see the game ripped from their grasp with a stronger second-half performance from Harvard that limited Princeton to just two field goals.Until week five, the Crimson defense hadn’t allowed a single rusher more than 100 yards in a game since 2005. Then last Saturday, Lehigh senior Matt McGowan posted 105 yards on the ground, breaking the three...
