David Lang's corner shot on a feed from Keith Webster with 4:06 left snapped the Crimson's second longest scoring drought of the season, but double-digit deficits were here to stay. The hosts took a 32-16 lead into the locker room.

The Bigger-Than-Life Red promptly set off on an 8-1 spurt to pull ahead, 40-17, at the start of the final period.

With the Crimson trailing by such large margins, Roby began substituting freely.

The closest Harvard pulled was 40-25, when a 10-footer by JV recruit Kevin Collins capped an 8-0 Crimson run with 12:59 remaining in the contest.

"We just have to keep on playing," Roby said. "We have to improve physically and also have to work at getting used to seeing situations develop on the floor."
