Columbia rarely threatened to score, gaining only 240 yards of total offense, and completing 13 of 35 passes for 145 yards.
The Lions thought they had some points in the opening quarter, but a Dave Putelo touchdown pass was nullified by a holding penalty.
"I could feel the enthusiasm building on the sidelines," McElreavy said of the drive. "But suddenly, we make two blunders, and we don't have it."
Alas, A Score
Columbia finally did score with eight minutes remaining in the contest. Sophomore fullback Chris Konovalchik broke up the middle, cut right, and dove into the endzone causing the good-sized Columbia contingent to go wild.
It was only the second touchdown of the season for the 0-4 Lions, who have been outscored 134-15 this season.
Columbia will try again to end the streak next weekend when it hosts Yale.
"I don't know how they will react with the pressure off," McElreavy said. "We will just have to wait [until Yale]."
At least the suspense is over.
